According to CEO Neal Mohan in his <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.youtube\/inside-youtube\/the-future-of-youtube-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\">2026 YouTube community letter<\/a>, YouTube Shorts alone average out to 200 billion daily views.

But once creator monetisation payments, employee costs, and server maintenance are brought into the equation, it must be a pretty penny. Alphabet&#8217;s Q4 financial report says that the revenue of Google Services in total was $95.86 billion, with its operating income reported as $40.132 billion, so that&#8217;s $55.73 billion spent on servicing costs in the last quarter alone.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that&#8217;s including Google&#8217;s vast services infrastructure overall, not just YouTube. Still, it does make me wonder whether YouTube in and of itself is as profitable as its parent company hopes it would be, despite the impressive revenue figure. It&#8217;s certainly more than Netflix, though, which reported <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/s22.q4cdn.com\/959853165\/files\/doc_financials\/2025\/ar\/99482238-46b2-4d0d-b292-40e6781bdf03.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">$45.18 billion<\/a> of total annual revenue earlier this year\u2014along with operating expenses of $31.85 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The ad strategy I (and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/youtube\/comments\/1lmd0yi\/is_it_just_me_or_has_youtube_massively_increased\/\" target=\"_blank\">many others<\/a>) have observed in recent months certainly seems to suggest that YouTube is doubling down on its income potential, whether that&#8217;s advertising or pushing people towards its paid premium services, or a combination of the two. It&#8217;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/111074-latest-youtube-error-message-isnt-bug-another-ad.html\" target=\"_blank\">remarkably good at noticing adblockers<\/a> these days, too, which feels like an escalation of its previous, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/youtube-renews-war-on-adblockers-by-testing-out-a-three-video-limit\/\" target=\"_blank\">adblock-hating<\/a> ways.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about money at the end of the day. Still, with so many eyeballs on its videos, and so many excellent (and many dubious) creators using its platform, I will admit that YouTube Premium has finally got me to open my moth-ridden wallet and cough up.
