They were able to build a business and be profitable for over a decade but now all of the sudden ad block is destroying YouTube? 🤔
Youtube operated at a loss for many years. I think it still does. Google has many products. They take the profit from one product to offset the losses from youtube.
Econ 101. Stay in school.
If we’re talking about Econ 101 maybe Google shouldn’t have purchased a company that couldn’t turn a profit after nearly a decade without rent-seeking.
Ever hear of a loss-leader? Econ 101...
But I'm sure a random guy on Lemmy knows a bit more than one of the largest corporations on the planet. You should apply for a job there, they might like your ideas.
I don't think you know what a loss leader is bc it doesn't precisely apply here.
Also Google isn't that hot of a place to work tbh.
