Jeff Huber did not think that. Peter Chane, the product manager of Google Videos, wrote the 1.5 engineers comment and "we have all of their [Youtube's] features in our q4 plan". The email thread indicates that Peter wanted Google Video to win and wasn't listening to Jeff. Jeff then raised the Youtube acquisition with his peers, and then to their CEO. A year later, Peter proposed a deal to link "Flip Video" cameras to Google Videos in the hopes of competing with Youtube's exponential video production. That gambit was squelched by his boss. https://9to5google.com/2020/07/31/google-flip-video-youtube-emails/ https://9to5google.com/2020/07/31/google-flip-video-youtube-...
