Was wondering so looked up how much YouTube lost per second. > YouTube ads generated $15.15 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2019. So plugged into wolfram alpha: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/ ? i=15.15+billion+dollars+per+number+of+seconds+in+a+year They lose about $480 per second or $1.7MM per hour. Yikes.

Why MM, is it the standard for million akin to "k" is for thousand?

MM means mil mil or 1000 1000. Its the roman numeral for 1,000,000 and typically used today in finance.

Pages load, but videos don't.

Captions, thumbnails, webpage html, etc. come from a different part of the CDN. Same with Netflix. The videos come from devices dedicated to large files, the captions and thumbnails come from a CDN designed for small files.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe for other types of service yes, I find difficult to plug a alternative to YouTube, other type of streaming services maybe? Netlfix etc

YouTube Music user here. Fired up Windows Media Player for the first time in ages, and told it to scan my old folder of ripped CDs.

If you're Windows user maybe try lightweight option like foobar2000?

my browser shown an CORS related error, its weird

CORS errors are false positives for a large amount of causes. For example, if loading a website causes an 502 or other error, that might not set the required CORS header, thus making it illegal for javascript to access the response in a number of ways.
