It’s time for Alphabet to spin off YouTube

YouTube also functions as a network offset, no? Egress from YouTube helps balance ingress from everything, which should lead to cheaper network settlement.

I worked in WANOPS at Microsoft in the 90s, so my understanding of billing is literally decades old.

Is there excess ingress in Google’s networks? I might have guessed the opposite.

If they’re ingesting the web as frequently as my Apache logs say, I would guess the imbalance is high
