I would put all the money I have into the stocks of a YouTube competitor that does not do that

youtube can only break even because it piggy backs on infrastructure google already has to pay for as the cost of doing their business as a cloud provider/search engine/ad network.

Same reason amazon can buy twitch and make it work.

If you don't have a large existing infrastructure for storage/broadcast for other reasons, these business are never going to be profitable or able to compete with youtube/twitch, they make no economic sense outside of that context.

YouTube finally started to break even? I thought they were still running at a huge loss

One cent for ~15-30 minutes of entertainment is still a good deal
But I'd look for a competitor that would be easier to use. I don't want to fuck about with payment options

It'd be like that instant buy button on paypal. Or you could charge your youtube wallet with money and let it run on that.
