But you said they aren't making a profit. And you could see their revenue heavily increased in the last few years. So something has to give.
A reddit post from 8 years ago is not going to have up to date information so no, not a valid source, but even in that reddit post many people point out that youtube was breaking even in 2014 not operating at a loss and I find it highly unlikely that the growing YouTube would still be breaking even a decade later. I did read the reddit post and the sources they provide require subscriptions to access. This will be the last I respond to this though since I can't see this going anywhere, continuing the conversation would be asinine.
