Youtube: 1.6 billion dollars and still unprofitable

Before I began this post, I had to re-check the above claim.  I did that here

 Yet it was still a fantastically intelligent move for Google to snatch it up at that price.  Why?  Lemme go find some more data for you...

"Youtube.com is ranked #3 in the world according to the three-month Alexa traffic rankings. Roughly 22% of visitors to the site come from the US. It has a bounce rate of about 24% (i.e., 24% of visits consist of only one pageview), and Youtube.com has been online since 2005. The site belongs to the “Video Sharing” category."

From Alexa

Man I wish I had 1.6 bill and a half decade to prove an idea right.

  (Don't forget site #1, also Google)

Edit:
Oh yeah, I was supposed to actually check out videos and Youtube and such.  Nah man, I'm on to Vimeo now, best in quality and load speeds, to my knowledge.
