In the second quarter of 2023, Google's revenue amounted to over 74.3 billion U.S. dollars, up from the 69.1 billion U.S. dollars registered in the same quarter a year prior.

But man if we don't pay for youtube premium how will they survive?

The amount of money they made is entirely meaningless without knowing their spending.

that's google not youtube though, is it? i think youtube is running at a loss still + in a normal country that shit should have been blasted apart already way too many shit is under google.

I think they have pretty recently finally become profitable thanks to the increased amount of ads. Although you could always make the argument before that the data YouTube provides to Google that allowed their ad and data empire to thrive is invaluable whether YouTube directly profits or not.

why would it be invaluable? I am guessing it's valuable amd is valued at a very close estimate at least.

Invaluable

adjective

beyond calculable or appraisable value; of inestimable worth; priceless:
