They're the #1 in streaming. More people watch youtube on their TV's than Netflix
Doesn't Youtube famously bleed money?
No clue, but the question was what do they have that people like. People really really like youtube
Liked. They make it worse every day, there's just not a viable alternative. Without revanced and 5 different plugins on the browser, I'd have stopped using it already
Not anymore lol. It used to, but they make a lot of money on youtube now.
But they didn't invent that. They bought YouTube after it was already popular. The only thing they've done to the platform is put in more ads.
YouTube launched in 2005 and was bought by Google in 2006. It has been a Google service for 95% of its existence. I'm pretty sure Google did other stuff in that 18 years than "put in more ads."
Was that a qualifier? "What exactly does google have left that people like?" Youtube, they have youtube
And destroying the rating system from points based, to thumps up and down relation, to thumps up only.
