I would LOVE YouTube to be separated from Google, only problem is who could then run it.
Elon can't, he has Twitter/X, if I could literally use a genie wish, I'd want Trump to buy it, just for the salt and screams that would result from that deal lol.
Trump honestly probably couldn't afford YT. I know it's not profitable, but the sheer scale of the assets and resources wrapped up in running it would put it outside even most individual billionaires' price range. On top of that, it's so integrated with Google's other services that they can make the argument that it's a core brand and logistically impossible to separate from the rest of their properties and make saleable. They're almost certainly going to appeal this decision about Chrome making the same argument.
They may make the argument but let's be honest, thanks to DEI hiring and nepotism, YouTube wouldn't survive without Google IN IT'S current state. It might survive if they had an Elon style purge.
