all numbers made up for illustrative purposes only

That's your problem here. YouTube's revenue growth is less than 2% YoY. That's below inflation. Meaning they effectively lose money.

Where did you get that number from?

And Inflationary costs are taken into account before profit, so no, they aren't losing money.

YouTube is a public company, all numbers are publicly available.

the company is Alphabet, not YouTube.

Alphabet Inc. is a holding. YouTube is part of Google Inc.
