Compared to YouTube, how much do you actually use Facebook?
Youtube doesn't have real competition because hosting video is much more expensive than text. That's why Google doesn't make individual reports about YouTube, it's most likely not profitable.
It’s still wild to me twitch saves full VODs but doesn’t allow strangers to cut/upload videos to compete with YouTube
They do make individual reports and it is profitable?
It hasn't been profitable for a long time. Its only recently that it became profitable
Edit: I actually couldn't find anything about it's profability and most sources say it's not really profitable.
A lot less than I would is every other item in my stream wasn't an ad.
