Last time I checked, ads were literally something like 99% of Google revenue.

I just checked, you're right. I was looking at the Alphabet revenue (parent) and 82% comes from Google Ads. Thanks for the insight.

And the other 18% is probably "non-profitable" ads e.g. YouTube.

The other 18% is things like YouTube Premium/Superchats, Cloud, Android, etc...
