Unless the tax breaks are so high that the taxes actually go negative, they won't pay for hosting costs.
Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on anything related to this.

doesn't change the fact that they're receiving tax breaks. this creates an unfair advantage and nullifies any "build your own alternative" arguments.

Theyve also dominated the market with anti-consumer practices.
They should take responsibility for being the Internets video archive because they've faught so hard to become it and pushed everyone else out the market.
Forgive me if I don’t shed a tear for their hosting costs.
