I haven't seen a valuation on Youtube ... but recently saw that Twitter sold for $44B and X is now at $12B.
I've enjoyed viewing YT videos for many years ... learned A LOT ... and thought quite highly of them. I can see charging to see long films (bandwidth and licenses isn't cheap) ... but piling ads on top of thousands of private people trying to help others out (for little profit)? Ads on educational programming? Yeah... it's WORSE than what Cable did to films.
Reminds me of that old song lyric ...
