And it is still estimated that Youtube is barely profitable between what it pays creators and bandwidth costs.

Barely profitable (assuming that's all it is for the number 1 video destination online) is still profitable.

Also Youtube != Google Cloud.

Yes I realize that but having revenue without profit is kind of meaningless.

Optimizing for growth requires forgoing profit, which is the model in place for GCP (and what everyone seems concerned over) so I don’t see what the problem is.

Is it really that you just don’t feel they’re committed enough for your standards?
