Lol @ YouTube being slow

Look at the amount of data that goes through their servers every millisecond. It's ridiculous. All things considered, YouTube is lightning fast.

Maybe the UI isn't as snappy as it could be, but the blame there lies solely on throwing more and more javascript at it to add "features" that end users don't really want.

Aaand artificially slowing down video loading by several seconds, last but not least.

is it tho? Or youtub is just profitable enough to neglect the compute overhead cost?

YouTube is surprisingly not very profitable
