    I think the authors are overlooking that a Disney movie is 1.5 hrs long and has the opportunity to cater to multiple audiences (eg, insert a joke that parents get but flies over th…

    Does more pollen translate to more trees (in theory)? Is this earth’s way to fight global warming through an increase in vegetation?

    You need to think about it more holistically - not just YouTube, but Google as a whole (think about all the various Google enterprise products, cloud, etc).

    Does it require specialized equipment? If yes, what’s the value of video vs fingerprint reader that’s more ubiquitous?

    Is it just about purchasing access to certain consumer groups, or also a defensive move to preserve human cashiers jobs?
