Doesn't seem to be the case [1] The article that comments on this chart says other sources (non-ad ones) look promising but it more sounds like a speculation because I don't see real signs of that.

why not? it's about ~9B in 2016, ~11 in 2017, ~19B in 2018 and ~10B in the first six months of 2019, with the last quarter being the largest in the past.

Sure, it's less than the ad business but it's doubled in 3 years, surely that's a healthy rate of growth?

That’s revenue not profit.
