Think, man, think.
No matter how humongous your profits, more is always better. Even if you're making money, if you're smart, you'll be looking for ways to increase your revenue. Always.
Tube sites are here to stay. They'll also keep trying to find new ways of making money, regardless of whether they're making or losing money.
If they started to change the business model entirely, actually severely limiting the length of videos or seriously limiting the number of videos users could watch per day, then you'd know the model was failing. Although, even in that case, you'd have to see a large amount of them moving to such a model, not just a few - because if only a few did it, it would be just as likely that they were making money, but decided changing the model could be even more profitable.
