The day Google shows a split up between YouTube ad revenue vs the rest, it's going to be an AWS moment.
I don't know why people believe YouTube is a loss maker. My guess is that it makes up 25% of the ad income
- zokier 5y agoAlphabet has been reporting youtube ad revenue separately since last year or so: https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/3/21121207/youtube-google-alphabet-earnings-revenue-first-time-reveal-q4-2019 https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/3/21121207/youtube-google-al... In their latest (Q3/21) report they are hairs breadth away from Netflix revenue figures: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/youtube-q3-2021-earnings-1235036727/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/youtube-q... Considering that Netflix is profitable with the immense cost of producing their own content, I don't find it far fetched that Youtube would be profitable too (albeit with very different cost structure).
