But they didn't invent that. They bought YouTube after it was already popular. The only thing they've done to the platform is put in more ads.

YouTube launched in 2005 and was bought by Google in 2006. It has been a Google service for 95% of its existence. I'm pretty sure Google did other stuff in that 18 years than "put in more ads."
