They're gonna need to change it in some ways to at least make it profitable. Right now it's just losing money.

I've heard they bought it for 1.65 billion in stock so the original youtube owners still do "own" youtube to a certain extent, although last I checked google was valued at around 120 billion so they don't even own 1% of the company which is ridiculous if you consider how much money that is
