Analyst: Google's acquisition of YouTube has withdrawn its investment

According to foreign media reports, although Google CEO Eric Schmidt once said that YouTube will do nothing in the short term. But some analysts said Google has withdrawn the investment.
In last October, Google announced the acquisition of YouTube with a $1.65 billion stake. At that time, many people were skeptical about this. However, it can be seen from Google's first quarter earnings that there is no need to continue to worry. In the first quarter, Google's net profit increased by 69% year on year.
According to Hitwise data, Google's search shares increased by March year on year in 10%. According to data released by Nielsen last week, Google's search volume increased by 40% year on year. Even if these are not directly related to the merger of YouTube, the indirect relationship is inevitable.
This can be seen from some major news website reports. Today, it's hard to see YouTube on the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, CNET, Reuters, and CNN websites.
In addition, YouTube has become a specific verb. If you need some video clips, click "YouTube.
Although Eric Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Google, once said that it still takes several days for YouTube to become a major revenue source for Google. However, YouTube does not play a major role in promoting Google.
