Unpopular opinion: this is a good thing.

This is healthy for the ecosystem, it makes it possible for other video platforms to compete, and be sustainable. Google providing the loss leader in video streaming makes it difficult for other platforms to exist, and sustain themselves, because they don't have Google's war chest.
So it's going to be a difficult transition, but now there is wiggle room for other platforms to exist. And with 1 gigabit, and 10 gigabit home internet connections becoming more common globally, we have options for more interesting gorilla distributed video streaming.
10Gb to the home? Where have you seen this, and.for how much? I had no idea that was a thing for residential
I get 2gbps to my home in singapore for $30USD a month.
10gbps is available in a few places globally, but its becoming more common. i.e. https://www.utopiafiber.com/10-gbps-info/
Wow that's nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood
Even that's twice what I get. The prices here are disgusting... I get 300mbps for $100... Yay monopolies!
My parents get 25/1 for ~$150 since there’s no other options, nor is there any plans to run new cable to get them better internet.

10gbps in utah for $200 a month...
I imagine korea has some great prices too.....
but the important thing here is the trend, data is becoming available, data centers don't matter as much as we become more interconnected ourselves.
