It's kind of amazing that after all this time, they haven't created anything worth reporting outside of the add business.

Youtube - money loser Maps - money loser (but we will see after their recent huge price increases shake out) Phones - money loser. they are selling fewer phones annually than apple sells in a week.

Is Youtube really a money loser? I thought they'd turned it profitable years ago.

Maps - in flux like you said.

Phones are more than hardware sales. They also run an app store and license their own ecosystem.

Originally, perhaps. But in the last ten years how many times have these platforms been rewritten?

Hosted services like Drive, Photos, and GSuite are also entirely in-house.

In any other area that would be a red flag of “money laundering”.

I am not accusing them of it. Just stating facts.
