"eliminate"... They're really making full use of dropping the "don't be evil" clause aren't they.

"eliminate" is a word added by TechCrunch, not by Google/Youtube.

Google's actual phrasing was:

To best position us for these opportunities, throughout the second half of 2023, a number of our teams made changes to become more efficient and work better, and to align their resources to their biggest product priorities. Some teams are continuing to make these kinds of organizational changes, which include some role eliminations globally.

I guess "eliminations" is still related to eliminate. But I'd argue that TechCrunch is playing it up a bit by using more rage-inducing language.
