No, they are being sued for BEING fortune tellers. They said that the cryptocurrency implosion wouldn't affect them materially. But it did. You can't do that.
Obviously most people on Slashdot never invest in companies. If you say something like "we expect we will be affected minimally by the cryptocurrency implosion" or "taking a company private at $420. Funding secured" and it isn't true and you know it, you are opening yourself up for litigation. You cannot just make statements to investors and mislead them. Chances are NVidia knew they were going to get hammered, but didn't want investors to sell the stock until they could get out of their positions.
Possibly. No one knows because Google never says. Anyhow the point is others can't compete because you don't have an ad network. That is why competitors don't work as well: they don't spend as much on it.
The reason competitors have quality issues is because Youtube spends a ton of money on deploying data centers and they don't. Competitors can't match it due to the cost and Youtube is likely still losing money, but it doesn't really matter to Google because the data gleaned from it adds to their dominance in providing profiles to advertisers. It probably costs around $5 billion a year to run Youtube. Unless you have a business model to get that money back, you aren't going to compete.
No "research group" produces "research" for free. These groups are paid to come up with whatever conclusions they are paid for. In addition they pay to get their "research" published to news outlets. The short answer is: money.
The reason Youtube is used is because there are no advertisements if you use an adblocker. Once Google closes that loophole it won't be as dominant. That is why Google lets people who use Adblockers use Youtube.
It was never "your music" unless you made it. You never owned it, even on CD. What distinguishes us from communists isn't the ability to buy a Ariana Grande CD.
Not only bragging rights: they found out about the alien moonbase on the far side of the Moon that the US and Soviets knew about. This changes everything.

I've never seen an ad on Youtube. Adblockers.

Thank you Ryan Fenton for your analysis.
It gives us all a lot to think about.
I would imagine there are lots of options for your particular spyware device of choice.

Because free and no advertisements.

Say WHAT?
Another wooooosh. Thanks for the tip. I thought all mammals went to Mammal Heaven and didn't decay in the soil.
whoooooosh
Tossing things in landfills is the American Way as we all know. So it is Patriotic.
Could you imagine what soil that contains dead mammals would smell like? This needs to be stopped.
FizzBuzz is AI? Do you need funding for it? I am looking for the next new thing. AI is where it is at!
Windows 10 is essentially "free". It doesn't even require a license to use. Now you know why.
There is a paper on that (pretty interesting):

Yes, and they reported that there was no dark side of the moon, it was all dark. We will see if the Chinese confirm that.

Can this hack be prevented through the use of HOST FILES?
A little extra in your pay packet this week!
Because the Technorati like more money. Taxpayer money is the best. Subsidizing $60k+ cars (or any car) is insane.
If you believe that you better run out and buy a $60k+ Tesla. You know, to "save the environment".
