as far as I'm aware nobody has ever shown this, all analysis I've seen that lead to that conclusion are based on ideas that Google pays Tier 1 provider rates for Youtube bandwidth, which is definitely not true (Google is directly peered with pretty much every ISP on earth)

I still believe Google has a LARGE interest in owning it though. Obviously. It's simply maybe not good enough in itself
