- postexitus 6mo agoYou are wrong. Google makes ~73% of its revenue from ads compared to 98% in Meta.
- canes123456 6mo agoMakes money, implies profit and not revenue
- postexitus 6mo agoWe have revenue breakdown. Where is the profit breakdown?
- squirrellous 6mo agoHa, probably nobody at Google even knows the exact cost of each of those business lines.
- postexitus 6mo agoYep - It's nearly impossible to assign profit to those things - we have X revenue from Android licenses, what's the cost of an android license? Is it all the R&D that goes to UI or hardware research? What's the cost of a Youtube Ad?
- screye 6mo agoGoogle makes money on ads, because its products span the entire internet. Youtube, Gmail, Search, Maps, Android, Devices, Photos and Drive are how they get the data to make money on ads. Cloud, Android & Youtube would be a 2 trillion dollar company even without Google. They don't make money on these, because they don't need to make money on it.
