They flipped it 20 years ago...talking about where these companies rank as far as current vision and innovation goes today in 2019.

  They flipped it at least as early as 15 years ago in 2004 with with gmail, their acquisition of google maps, and in 2006 with their acquisition of youtube. Actually I think you're basically right.

The only innovation among these was whatever youtube did to be allowed to host all the pirated content, as opposed to everyone else who tried it.

      Okay, fair points. 2007 and 2008 respectively. I'm not sure that changes much.
