Cost of hosting videos is enormous. Its why Youtube has practical monopoly on the stuff. Just storing that many videos takes huge amount of storage, allowing people to view it in HD resolution across the world for free... its hugely expensive.
Its actually amazing that we have free platform like Youtube at all.

The costs are high. But we’re talking about revenue not profit, so costs aren’t really relevant to revenue. I’m very surprised that YouTube isn’t up there closer to Google search ads.
