Please enlighten me hivemind on why I am wrong.

You didn’t actually say anything at all. You’re not wrong but you aren’t right, either. YouTube predates Alphabet by 10 years.

Google was founded in 1998. YouTube was created in 2005. Google bought YouTube in 2006. Google restructured and created a parent company Alphabet in 2015. YouTube is still owned by Google and Google is now a subsidiary of Alphabet.
