This data is translated into money through the ads, and people are trying to block it aggressively. Which part of that is not free?
280 it's not from YouTube, but the entire corp, right?
Also revenue is not the profit. The cost for maintaining video streaming is enormous, especially if this size. Only traffic itself can easily eat half of YouTube's revenue.
PS Don't get me wrong, I think Google is a typical corp with no feelings. But I'm surprised how people not complain about Spotify, Tidal, DropBox, etc...
