It has become an entire body of functioning organs and generating revenues. Looking at the price Google paid for the website, it is obvious that they see some future of this large investment. In the year 2007 there was not a publically disclosed record for the revenue generated by Youtube, but in 2008 the revenue reached the level of 200 million dollars.
