Hosting sfw video is just not profitable on the scale that youtube does it

Youtube had $28.8b in revenue in 2021. While revenue isn't profit, I can't imagine it's losing money with that much revenue. It'd be hard for someone else to duplicate it, but not impossible if they have a strong business plan from the start.
