The federal government has 330 million users and tax revenues of about $ 3.5 trillion, while YouTube has 2 billion active users and only $ 15 billion in revenue.

So $ 7.5 per user for YouTube, but $ 10600 per user for the US federal government.

Edit: If you only look at the number of channels, which is only 31 million, you are at $ 483 per channel for YouTube.

But how long would it take for a human to look into an issue and apply human logic instead of the algorithm. 10 minutes? Also, what percentage of users actually need or request support? Everyone pays in, but very few use the service.

Subtract all the costs of video hosting and development etc and you are left with almost nothing.
