Youtube wasn’t burning billions per year and it’s also pretty much the primary entity for video for the whole world which has other benefits for google. Finally Youtube can be monetized through adverts, since storage and bandwidth costs are relatively low. Whereas GenAI’s compute costs aren’t.
so when was youtube profitable?

I don’t think Youtube was ever profitable, to be honest.
