Do you have any source for Youtube being profitable? They've only been starting publishing revenue for it recently, but as of Q1 2020 they were still hiding profits [0]

Some analysts I follow (I think Ben Thompson was in this camp) have been long speculating that it was actually operating at a loss.

They started reporting both of those in the last quarter.

Youtube is profitable, GCP isn't.
