      then don’t do something for the benefit of humanity if you can’t handle not having infinite line-go-up. Numbers aren’t easily found but it looks like they generated north of a billion in profit, not revenue, profit.

      If a billion, after all bills are paid, is not enough. Give it to someone to whom a billion is enough.

        It didn’t exist that long. And it didn’t allow you to watch 4K or even Full HD videos.

      Breaking up big tech doesn’t mean that we all have to host our own YouTube.

        It doesn’t. But you need to have a replacement. So, go ahead, and create a free video hosting!
