They’re almost certainly one of the more profitable Google services or they’d have been cut loose by now.
Google serves ads, YouTube is a great platform for them to serve ads, and they don’t even have to pay content creators that much, because they serve their own ads. The biggest expense is probably bandwidth and memory, which Google owns enough of to sell off bits they aren’t using.
