They meant profitable to the owner of YouTube, not content creators.

People don't quite grasp the concept of a business having an expenditure - the money they make on ads has to balance out with the money they pay creators and the staff, spend on expansion etc. - YouTube has been in the red for most of its existence, but the purpose of the company is not to make a profit, it's to draw customers in to Google's ecosystem, and by extension, Alphabet's.

They are clearly biased against Conservative minded invididuals, and the double standards show that. I think we'll see bitshute getting a bit more popular as people on the right look for better alternatives but YouTube isn't going anywhere for a looong time. Like someone pointed out, tons and tons of people make their living off it, so Google makes a killing. Remember, Google makes their money off other peoples content, in gthe meantime collecting info about you and selling it / using it to better their products over the competition and are involved in tons of other things, I'm not a fan of their tactics which is as scummy as an Internet version of the Vulture capitalism that goes on in the real world.
I disagree w/ any policy that stems free speech on platforms as large as Twitter/Youtube/Facebook - but that's another argument for another time (private companies having to abide by certain rules etc.) If they shut you down, in today's world, it (can) have huge real world reprecussions.

youtube is definitely not dying, it will be #1 video service for many years to come.
what youre observing is dying is that being a successful youtuber of any kind will be much harder because there are 10000 other peoples like you with their channels recording about whatever theyre doing. theres so many of them that now even the best youtubers get less views

A lot of youtube channels these days tend to be little more than glorified ads for the owners Patreon. Not that I can blame them really, I don't know anyone who doesn't block ads on youtube, at least on PC. I tried using it without one for a while and while some ads before a video started were tolerable, the ludicrous amount of times it'd just randomly cut someone off mid sentence to show more multiple times throughout a video was too much. Add to that the fact that most video's now also include sponsored ads aswell as the youtube ads, they're becoming more ad than content.
Idk why everyone is complaining about the ads. with a simple ad blocker you dont get any on the pc and on mobile you just sideload youtube vanced from the xda devs.
I just put up with the ads on mobile. I like being logged into youtube to keep a to watchlist,etc. While I've heard nothing but praise for Vanced, I don't liked the idea of giving 3rd party apps access to my login details. Not just youtube, as a rule in general.
No 3rd party app gets access to your details. You log in through Google's own login API. On the non-root version, you log in using microG which is simply an open source re-implementation of Google's user space apps and libraries. It basically Sandboxes your session in apps that use it. Nothing much more than that, especially in this case.

It's a literal game changer, it's like having youtube red but for free (As far as the features/functionality go, you obviously do not get exclusive content with it, not that I care). Would be nice if there was a desktop version, I am sure there is one but perhaps it's a different project/name.
wish it was dying YT is an absolute cesspool now i only use it to pirate music. i can't wait to see the day youtubers can no longer make $ sitting on their fat asses screaming into a camera while eating a bucket of kfc and have to get real jobs. 
I tried NewPipe for a couple weeks, but couldn't stand the interface personally - lack of "subscriptions by date" sorting and comfy background play option (you have to manually switch between video and audio mode) are major dealbreakers for me, and it's prone to occasional crashes. I gave up and stuck to Premium subscription, since it's cheap and has YTMusic bundled with it.
