Out of the 60bn they made only 325 ml from paid subscribers. The title made it like it was an important figure. There's also no YOY numbers or profit so it's difficult to draw a conclusion.

I wonder if this is a fair comparison, though. It strikes me that Netflix’ revenue model is simpler and their costs are also lower, but I guess we won’t know YouTube’s costs any time soon.

325 million people that don't know about Firefox and uBlock Origin?

That's a lot of moolah!

Still frankly one of the few redeeming aspects of YouTube. My feed is disastrous.

Well, first you can use youtube on your phone, tablets etc, without seeing ads ever, I didn't realize youtube has ads.

Initially, my kids would ask for toys and fast food that I knew they didn't know anything about. So I realized family subscription is way cheaper then me buying even a single $25 toy, and most of them were more expensive.

Over the years, my kids have grown healthier both in mind and body thanks in part of that subscription.
