Yeah I know its Google and a billion dollars is nothing to them, but Im wondering if YouTube is in the black or in the red

Sure they do in advertising, and soon they will increase their profit by putting up some small fee to watch a vid, just wait and see.

Of course, this they all do sooner or later, just wait and see. I can't believe they haven't done so already. Now that Google AdSense launched AdSense video we can also make some profit there. I haven't tried it yet but I hope I will.

Of course they have money and they make money.


Yesterday I was on you tube and almost every video has a linked advertisement to amazon or some other selling store.


If you get 5 % of every purchase, you can make a lot of money.


And most music videos are linked to direct song downloads.
