Oh you're right.YouTube probably couldn't have been profitable. They could have gone out of business, however.

Vimeo has reasonable unit margins, though, and has since the early days.

What I'm mostly irked about is that there was no room for experimentation. YouTube was impossible to compete with.

“Unit margins” mean about as much as Ubers made up metric where it is profitable as long as you ignore a dozen expenses .
