Reply to comment by almightygarlicdoggo in [OC] Google IPO vs Now - breaking down revenue and profit sources by giteam

Yeah good point, it has to be insanely expensive to have enough storage space and bandwidth for all the videos. If you can't pull in enough of a crowd quickly, it would be massive losses.

Interestingly, as you previously commented, you might be right why they are pulling so may ads nowadays, their revenue in 2016 was "only" 6.7$bn. And with how expensive you said it is to operate, I don't think they were making that much profit back then, even though it was still a massive corporation.
