You massively underestimate the development effort and the know & how that is in Youtube

Yet they still can’t stop adblockers. Despite what this article says I have no problems with ublock. All my friends ublock still works.

Youtube coders know more about “Cracking the Coding Interview” than they do about making good software. Just a bunch of egotistical greedy little pigs working for their perceived reputation and money.

Well said. I've lost track of how many times I've seen shitty code go into production with the justification "we'll just throw more hardware at it". There are a MASSIVE amount of resources that could be reclaimed if we went on a diet and stopped relying on bigger and faster servers.
