    What’s funny to me is how they are in a fight for their company with the FTC, and they want to continue provoking people by increasing their revenue on the back of their users on a service they might have a technical monopoly on? Hmmmm…

      Provoking people and in dispute with FTC don’t relate but if the FTC broke them up then you would really regret not cashing in while you could

        Insofar as the FTC is in a legal case with google, American users do not have individual standing. But the court of public opinion is another venue without the need for such logic. As this is a political decision to enforce and proceed eight the case as much as an economic one, I would beg to disagree that provocation is in their best interest.

        Perhaps some would like to file a complaint? https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/submit-merger-antitrust-comment

      YouTube isn’t profitable. You want to talk antitrust in a meme about YouTube trying to make money on ads?
