Yeah, it’s generally not a profitable business. But not when people make accounts, use those accounts to watch content and also comment and like-dislike content. They track your every move.

I would have paid a subscription for the service if they were a honest company and didn’t invade other people’s privacy without their permission.
Look man, there are a lot of ways to use YouTube and have a great experience. You don’t need to pay money to them just to have a good experience.
