The funny thing is there is an active thread right now on HN about breaking up Google (including Youtube.) Supposedly, "there isn't enough competition and there arent options."
- arcticfox 6y agoIs Google a "TV on demand" company to you? I don't think anyone is talking about breaking up YouTube itself, unless I missed something. It would be one of the pieces Google would be broken into.
- tekromancr 6y agoThe notion that people think Google's monopoly exists in the streaming video space just might be the most intellectually dishonest thing I have read today. Neat!
- unethical_ban 6y agoThat isn't remotely the same thing.
- TuringNYC 6y agoRegardless of downvotes, there is literally chat about breaking up YouTube the same day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24852504 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24852504 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24850702 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24850702 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24849147 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24849147 My point is how inconsistent all this is -- on one hand, there is discussion about how YouTube should be broken up because there are not sufficient players. On the other hand a huge contender just shut down because there wasnt sufficient interest in yet another streaming platform.
