I don't disagree with your point but your data is not correct... Alphabet reported $34.46 billion in net income for Q4 2025 on total revenue of $113.8 billion. Ads generated $82.3 billion (72% of revenue):
This is all REVENUE not Profit! Yes Alphabet made ~34B Profit that Quarter but not only from Youtube ad's. I would assume a 25-30% margin on Youtube Max, so it's more like ~4B Profit of Youtube Ad's (Yes still a fuck ton of money).
