The fact that Youtube doesn't make money right now doesn't mean it won't. Google is playing a game of chess with Youtube. That's why they offer free video hosting and allow you to embed it in your site even using your own player. They want to rule out as many competitors as possible from the market before the real advertisers come in.
There're some ads at the beneath of youtube video screen. The main source of income of youtube is visitor.
