Not just YouTube. And, it wouldn't mean that AdSense would go away, just that it would be split off into a separate entity. A very wealthy one.
The point is, this would break their tracking abilities. So the nonsense of watching something on YouTube, and going to Amazon and them 'recommending" a related product would end.
Big Ad is throwing a collective tantrum today behind closed doors. I'm hearing it personally.
But, Alphabet sells all kinds of data, so they won't go out of business, and they'll just find other ways to do what they're doing now. But we'll have a moment's respite from the aggressive tracking they do.
Just making them break the advertising bit off would hurt them massively. Almost all of the companies products that move the needle are based around advert rev. Even their browser is just one more way to hover up analytics into the cloud.
Maybe verizon can buy them when it is all said and done.

I feel bad for some of those YouTubers. Many of them (like Pewdiepie) are based, or just want to entertain people.
theres obviously demand, other platforms will come.
