“Do no evil” just a hollow phrase?

Dear frustrated music loving YouTube visitors – take a look at Google’s financial statement tell me they can’t share a small part of their revenue with content creators who are responsible for the largest part of the traffic and thus revenue?

Revenues:                                 $ 29.321 million

Costs of Revenues:                  $ 18,940 million

Profitability:                             $ 10,381 million

Now, I’m not saying, that Google should be a socialistic enterprise. But come on, give the creators who are being attacked from every corner of society a break already. Because let’s face it: people go to YouTube for the content and not the advertisement around it.

Or is “Do no evil” just a hollow phrase?
