They're the #1 in streaming. More people watch youtube on their TV's than Netflix

Doesn't Youtube famously bleed money?

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

I dont like youtube, im being forced to use it if i want to wach content from my favorite creators, which by the way, also ain't exactly happy with YT. Thats exactly the reason as to why so much people try it to migrate to twich and facebook gaming.

And destroying the rating system from points based, to thumps up and down relation, to thumps up only.
