I don't believe this.. indeed run video sharing site very hi maintained . But I believe it's not 2M/day..
Of course youtube won't be shut down. It's a huge brand like Coca cola and the right owner is Google since they have a lot of leverage and they can afford to experiment.
But the subliminal messages in the videos are priceless, it's worth it to them, cant put a price on that. See if you can spot them
Youtube is not closing. Thats a fact. If you think otherwise you know very little about the industry.
NO, that's just your faulty eyes. Maybe you should get them checked out at the psychiatrist Youtube will roll on and on (and on); lets just call it a lossleader ....
look up how much facebook loses just for image uploads... you'll understand with great media files, comes great prices
We've seen the video ads lately, and movies trailers(official), isn't this enough to cover the costs?
Lol dont give me that ! Any 1 in the alexa top 100 can make anything possible in means of finance. Perhaps youtube needs the help of cpalead.com.lolz. Imagine that !
google wont be shutting down youtube they are just going to have to find a way to get more money out of it
Honestly Google earns like 20X that amount with PPC. We all know google is not poor. In fact google holds #2 position next to Cocacola for the #1 most recognized "brand name" in the world. It would be a shame to see youtube's passing. Thats for sure!
Google won't shut down it, even with 2kk dollars of loss... Google earn a lot of money. They need stay with Youtube, Orkut and other sites, to generate more internet traffic, and more money =0
I feel like I am in JR high again.... So many rumors, so many lies. But hey, who knows? I can only wish that it is not true!
youtobe is so famouse now,i don't think google will give it up now,we know a video website like that cost a lot ,but it's so famouse,sure they can make money from youtube,so i don't agree this point
Hard to image the size of the files they allow someone to upload, how many they let one have, how do they really pay for all the storage space and bandwidth. They must be adding more storage space all day long non stop. I can't see it going away anytime soon, but if they don't at least break even on it either then just how long are they willing to take a loss.
This is false news. Recent news shows that youtube maybe spending nothing on bandwidth costs. "How much is YouTube paying for the bandwidth to deliver its 1 billion page views per day? Credit Suisse says $470 million a year. RampRate says $174 million. Google says “less than you think.†Now Wired.com asserts that YouTube’s bandwidth bill is zero, citing an analysis by Arbor Networks. The gist of the report is that YouTube has slashed its video delivery costs through the use of peering relationships and its in-house GoogleNet connecting its data centers (assembled through the company’s oft-reported purchases of dark fiber). " Here is the source/article where I got the above info from http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/10/19/youtubes-bandwidth-cheap-but-not-free/
I think google is not going to shut down youtube...I have seen loads of user using it ..although I am not really a youtube user coz sometimes I hate watching spam in it....But am pretty much sure google is earning something in youtube too
micropayments. Just charge a penny to watch a video = you bring in $750M a year. Anyone can afford a penny. Problem is people dont like to pay for anything they're used to getting for free.
