> Instead of focusing on high leverage activity like improving product, they would spend their time figuring out how to split datacenters, ads products, internal tooling etc. You mean like they haven't for the past 5 years? I have no opinion on splitting them up besides "why?", but "Youtube wouldn't innovate on their product any more" is a weird position: Youtube hasn't innovated since it was created, they've only copied from other products (streaming, shorts, music, superchats, channel members), and did so in a mediocre way that's just disappointing.
