Watch: YouTube can grow to a $240 billion standalone asset, says SVB MoffettNathanson's Michael Nathanson

Interesting CNBC discussion-240B possible with YouTube. They see maybe 10M new YouTube TV subscribers over the next 3-5 years and it may become a huge media asset beyond their huge ad business and Comcast and Charter cords will continue to wither.

I imagine they are also underpromising their AI potential and will ultimately overdeliver results with their data, talent and thick wallet.
