The comment I'm responding to asked if either the customer or the company were better after the merger.

Google's (and YouTube's) customers are advertisers. Advertisers are certainly better off with the scale and reach that Google juiced YouTube with, and Google earns about $15B annually in revenue from it.

So, I'd say both conditions are met.
