Ads are Google's business model, but they make their major money from a few different leading products : Search, ad platform(both internal and external), YouTube, Android.

Do you have a reference for these claims?

Search and Youtube seem to be ad hosting platforms, and "ad platfom" seems it would be from ads. The Android ad revenue slice seems to be missing from Google.

All these Google platforms have lost my decade-long patronage recently due to inability to find what is needed (google thinks it knows me better than myself) and personal-info-commodification.
