YouTube’s Biz Blog Goes on Offensive, Says Industry Comments Are ‘Myths’

While many, including me, have been asking for some time now when YouTube will show a profit and what their long-term business plan is, today, YouTube went on the offensive on their Biz Blog to "debunk the top five myths about YouTube". While one might think that Google (GOOG) is going to finally provide us with real data points on YouTube’s business, the post doesn’t provide enough details to truly debunk anything.

This is the first time I can remember that YouTube has gone on their blog to address topics being discussed about them in the industry and comes at an interesting time. In the past few weeks, we’ve seen more Google executives

telling people in the media they are tired of analysts trying to figure out their costs and one has to wonder if this is the start of Google trying to fight back.
