Just understanding an audience of that size would be near impossible.

1. Advertising like that isn't about making people go buy your product right then and there. Think Budweiser & Coke. Neither put out a commercial to see profits rise instantly. They both OWN the market. Their commercials don't do shit other than keep their image in their consumers mind.
2. Who knows how much bandwidth Google owns. You can't look at it like we look at bandwidth. Google doesn't buy a server and pay overages when they exceed their limit. Google is bigger than most bandwidth/service providers. You think they don't own enough bandwidth to allow youtube to grow ten times it's size and still have left over bandwidth usage?
