It’s time for Alphabet to spin off YouTube?
It's time for antitrust to hit Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon.  At the very least.<p>Amazon: AWS is one of the most valuable businesses ever created.  You don't need the retail arm any more, now that it is enshitting itself.  Also spin off the media company, comprising Audible and prime video, to make a Disney competitor.  Amazon would absolutely be more valuable broken up.<p>Meta: Meta has always run 3 separate products either way.  Spinning off the loser (Facebook), and the non-social networking product (WhatsApp) would let Instagram grow wings against TikTok.<p>Google: Search, YouTube, ads, and technical infrastructure (cloud) can all easily be separated, and Search and YouTube could likely command an even bigger premium by treating other ad networks as first-class citizens.  Google ads could get a lot more business too when they are not tied to other products (those products might compete with yours, driving you away from Google ads).
