That may be the case. I haven't read anything about them in a while and Google does have a ton of bandwidth so they may well be profitable now. The article I read a while back talked about how they lost about a million dollars a week on it, but they didn't care because it gave them other things they would be able to use and monetize down the road.

Editing. Just found this article that says it looks like they will start seeing profit from YouTube this year. http://www.physorg.com/news202736127.html
