Yes.

I have only one of their services that I do not see replaced any time soon. YouTube. What they do there is impressive, and very, very hard to replicate.

Not a fan of YouTube, don't get me wrong. But I see nothing comparable out there (maybe AWS, but they just run some infrastructure orchestration).

Google will kill YouTube long before anybody else is able to pull off the same stunt.

Or is there a service comparable for video streaming?

    Been using Newpipe/Pipepipe for the longest time, but Google has been screwing with the Youtube API so the Newpipe Extractor hasn't been working properly for the last two updates. Can't keep a video playing in the background for long, can't download OPUS audio files, playlist albums from YouTube Music are still iffy.

    Genuinely about to switch to Nebula or Peertube. Fuck Google, I hope Pichai dies.
