Youtube is a special case. It does not make money. It doesn't even break even last I heard. Whoever wants it would need to be insanely rich and have ulterior motives for wanting it.
Even Rumble with it's advantages of being new and designed for it from the ground up, more limited upload limits, and not having a long tail loses twice as much as they bring in.
Youtube does make Google many billions now according to their reports.
But only because of leveraging Google's monopoly position in ads and taking 30% of superchats. Anybody buying youtube wouldn't have monopoly advantage and they'd sink like a rock.
