AFAIK youtube is profitable now. It was not for years, but is now.

Yes, but it could perhaps be more profitable, if they cut spending on this aspect?

For every year that passes, storage becomes cheaper, but the total size of youtube's video repository grows. I wonder what the net effect of all that is in the end. Ever increasing costs? Or maybe it kinda evens out.

What could be cost of total storage of YouTube ? Edit : About billion USD per year.

Since when did that stop shareholders to make even more money?

Interestingly, if storage cost decreases geometrically over time, then the total storage cost of storing a video for all eternity is finite.

Though what I was commenting on here wasn't so much the cost of storing a video at all, but storing it in 'warm' enough storage that you can load it really quickly.

Can you post your source? Last time I checked (and quickly checking around now) I didn't see any announcement from Google about Youtube being profitable.
