To be fair, wouldn't this still be the case?
Google peer with many ISPs, and have a lot of server / networking prowess, so the YouTube experience is normally pretty good across the board.
Nebula, on the other hand, is a fairly new player from my understanding.
- mdasen 2y agoYes, YouTube might have better CDN solutions, but ISPs can't unfairly discriminate against Nebula. Nebula is a new player, but presumably they're using CDNs with good reach. The point isn't that Google can't build a better CDN. The point is that we don't want ISPs creating a situation where they've inked a deal with Google to prevent good performance from YouTube competitors. We don't want a situation where "YouTube is the exclusive 4K video provider on ISP-X."

Definitely not, and I would never advocate for that -- I was perhaps being slightly pedantic in the above comment :-)
