⚠ While this post is roughly correct, it tends to embellish the truth. Google acquired YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion, and YouTube has disclosed earning a total of $31.51 billion in advertisement revenue in 2023. Consequently, YouTube generates $1.65 billion in revenue every 19 days, instead of 16 days. To achieve the same revenue in 16 days, YouTube would need to generate a total of $37.6 billion. 🌐 https://www.statista.com/statistics/289658/youtube-global-net-advertising-revenues/ Also, it's essential to differentiate between revenue and profit. While YouTube's revenue is steadily increasing, information regarding its profit margin is very limited. 🌐https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/122214/what-difference-between-revenue-and-profit.asp The expenses involved in running a website like YouTube are significant. For instance, Google purportedly incurred a $470 million loss because of YouTube, in 2009. However, if the website was not profitable, Google would likely have discontinued it, as they often do with many of their products. 🌐https://slate.com/technology/2009/04/the-high-costs-of-running-youtube.html 🌐https://killedbygoogle.com/
