Google’s acquisition of YouTube is now remembered as one of the most successful tech acquisitions ever, but that result was far from obvious in 2006.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Bergen is the author of the upcoming book “Like, Comment, Subscribe. Inside YouTube’s Chaotic Rise to World Domination.” Dylan Lewis caught up with Bergen to talk about: - YouTube’s “Forrest Gump-like” tendency to be a part of world-changing events - The platform’s complicated relationship with its creator base - One missed opportunity around kids and education - The acquisition of YouTube, and its early days at Google
