Because you can get much bigger for cheaper compared to a monitor.

Or grab a mini media focused computer to hook up to it.

While I can agree with the 4K argument a bit for the hosting is expensive part, I do think it goes way beyond that or long videos. Youtube exists on a scale most don’t even realize. Tens of millions of people upload content every day. We’re talking thousands of hours worth of video every day.

Not to excuse YouTube for a lot of dumb decisions they made, but even on their best day the site just breaks even due to the cost of hosting.

The latter really wouldn’t surprise me. A service could be making four times the investment in profit and many investors will still push to get a few more cents out of it at any cost.

I’m pretty left leaning, and I’m against any fascist state trying to turn its neighbors into vassal states for its interest. And yes, that means being against a lot of what the US does as well.

Russia has done horrible things to the Ukrainian people for a good century now. I hope the Ukraine doesn’t get pressured into giving its land and people over to Putin. Any deal needs to give Ukraine all its territory back, and for Russia to keep its military off their border.
