Just to clarify, YouTube revenue in 2019 was around $15 billion, which even for Google is not a small number.

Thanks for the correction. I meant “profit”, and wasn’t even aware that YouTube revenue was disclosed this year for the first time (profit wasn’t... and YouTube likely costs a lot more to run per $ earned than the search, but how you assign profits and costs is art rather than science).
