YouTube is hardly profitable. They would barely be able to afford their own infrastructure under their current revenue.
They would immediately be acquired by a competitor or declare bankruptcy.
That's an argument for the break-up, not one against it. If Google is using their monopoly powers to create wholly unprofitable endeavors, then they are likely choking out competition. There can be no Youtube Killer if Youtube does not have to make money.
You really think someone couldn't build a business out of YouTube independent of Google? Just because it is hardly profitable _now_ as managed by Google in support of ads doesn't mean there isn't another model there.
Well, tough luck. Not all business plans are destined for success.
I'm sure they can figure it out.
Thats exactly the point
Good. This’ll even the playing field for competitors. It’ll be a net win for humanity.
