    Can you show me how much profit Youtube had in 2023? You seem to know this, because you base your whole argument on it.

      $31.5 billion in revenue in 2023. [Source]

      This doesn’t include subscriptions, which accpunt for around another $10-12 billion.

      The company is worth hundreds of billions. So, no, I don’t think they’re suffering from ad blockers.

        Ah yes, the good ol’ revenue is just a synonym to profit. Classic.

          Ah the ol’ I have no real argument here and have no idea why I’m actually whiteknighting for a multibillion dollar corporation so I’ll just act skeptical regardless of what’s said.
