> If google was selling youtube today, would anyone even buy it? Of course. It's the premier video platform not just of the US but the world. And it's only going to grow. > How many companies can afford to keep it running? How many would want to? Every major company in the US. And every major international company around the world and maybe even governments around the world would want to buy youtube. But I highly doubt we'd let a foreign company get control over youtube. Youtube is important enough to be a national security matter. Google is known for shutting down products left and right. It's kept youtube around for 15 years. That, in and of itself, should tell you something. Youtube is one of the world's most valuable/important products right now. You think no one would be interested in buying it?
