Like Google’s core business gives them the infinite cash to burn to prevent an alternative to YouTube ever showing up, AWS might be that but for Amazon.

Like Google’s core business gives them the infinite cash to burn to prevent an alternative to YouTube ever showing up, AWS might be that but for Amazon.
- tachyonbeam 7y agoOut of curiosity, has Google bought/killed potential YouTube alternatives in the past?
- jquery 7y agoIs that the metric we should use? Who would even bother trying to start a YouTube alternative? Does Google break out YouTube’s financials in their quarterly? They don’t. How do you compete with a bottomless wallet?
- tachyonbeam 7y agoGoogle has been clamping down on content they don't like and ramping up the ads like crazy. Their recommendation algorithm is also terrible. There is definitely room for competition.
