Was YouTube ever profitable?

I actually had trouble finding that out. It’s apparently a closely-guarded secret according to some tech websites. I do have this chart that says since 2017 YouTube ad revenue has been 7-11% of Google’s total revenue but I don’t know if that = profit.

Is YouTube profitable for Google? YouTube's ad business revenues made up over 11 percent of the Alphabet-owned giant revenues for the last examined year.

In iOS you can use Yattee and link to an alternative Frontend. Works well for me.
