Google gains 25M subscriptions in Q1, driven by YouTube and Google One

# Google's Subscription Business Is Growing Fast Google added 25 million people to its paid services in just three months, bringing its total to 350 million subscribers worldwide. The growth is mainly coming from YouTube (its video platform) and Google One (its cloud storage service), suggesting more people are willing to pay for these services rather than use free versions. This matters because it shows a major shift in how Google makes money—moving beyond ads toward direct payments from customers.
