The bigger problem is how to define what Google is and split it. Many of their platforms post losses like youtube, because they can afford to spend their ad money to prop it up. If you split away youtube, youtube would likely fold. Similar thing with android, Google props up android so they have an ecosystem they can get data from to use for ads. If android was split off, it would have no income stream and likely fold.

I see no problem with this.

If you had to pay anything to distribute your video, the quality would soar relative to what we have now.

So we'd lose a neo-Nazi enrichment factory? Not seeing the problem.
