There’s so much to chop off there. They’re an ad monopolist, cut that. Their YouTube business is self sufficient, cut that. Android and Play Store? Chop chop chop. Cloud Services? Chainsaw goes wrrr. Google, Chrome and assorted services could stay with Google for brand recognition.
Unless you spin off Youtube along with the ad business into their own company, YouTube dies. It is in no way self-sufficient without the ad network that literally supports it.
I’m happy enough with the discourse being „how would we chop Google into pieces”, I know my dream is probably just a dream haha.
YouTube is probably the biggest streaming service out there. They’d have no issues negotiating a sweet deal with some ad company, former Google or other. As of now most YouTube users are products sold to advertisers so we’d benefit from adjusting this a bit too.
