You're argument doesn't make sense. YouTube, Android, and Google are 100% completely different businesses and are all wildly profitable.
What you seem to be confused about here is that you think a business model is the same as a business itself. This couldn't be further from the truth.
- bunnycorn 8y agoProfitable because people pay for those services? No, nobody is paying for YouTube red, nobody is buying "Android", they are profitable because they put ads in people screens. Nothing more, nothing less.
- lawrenceyan 8y agoAgain, you're failing to understand the point. There is a difference between a business model and the business itself. There are many different ways to monetize a product/service besides direct sales.
