Okay, so you see what works to fix the problem, you could have a conversation with him about how his skills are wasted in HelpDesk and that he should be making more money by doing job X in department Y. If he has enough dirt on the CEO, he can get his promotion.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t want a promotion.
He wants to sit on his ass and watch Youtube for another 5 years.
Then he can fuck off with one of the good old retirement packages that people joining 20 years ago got.
And that’s what the CEO wants, too. At this post, Ed can’t cause any damage, except to my nerves.

Set up a bandwidth restriction policy against his devices. Choke it down to 100kps for video sites so that watchability is garbage with low resolution and constant buffering.
Or I’ll go all out and redirect Youtube to lemonparty.cc for his account.
I wouldn’t go that far. The goal is to cause him to complain to other employees/managers that Youtube is too slow. You want the question forming in other people’s heads “Why is he watching so much Youtube here at work that this is a problem?”
Even better is if he is using the company internet/equipment to consume content that isn’t safe and appropriate for work. If it can be shown his behavior is legal liability then the company may decide he’s more trouble than he’s worth.

That’s actually not a bad idea.
