They don’t publish that number, but you know it’s in the billions.

Here’s alphabet’s gross income (155b USD): https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/GOOG/financials/annua...

And here’s an estimate of YT’s profit margin: https://mannhowie.com/youtube-valuation#youtube-profit-margi...

My point wasn’t about the specific number, it was a qualitative one: people in this thread claim that YT needs to kill Adblockers to pay for the service and survive. They don’t. They’re already making billions without crippling web browsers to disable Adblockers.
