> Youtube make any real money

This 1000%



YouTube has considerable revenue, but as far as I can tell they're still unprofitable.


YouTube as of present day is profitable. To me, and I'm sure Google thinks the same too, the data they've amassed and are exponentially amassing far outweigh in value any notion of profits. This is about playing the long game, not focusing on quarterly earnings.
