I actually had trouble finding that out (although I only looked for like, 15 minutes). It's apparently difficult to determine according to some tech websites. I do have this chart that says since 2017 YouTube ad revenue has been 7-11% of Google's global revenue but I don't know if that = profit. Decided to meme anyways because I have ads blocked on PC but still see them on my phone.

"I have ads blocked on PC but still see them on my phone."

If you're on Android, ReVanced. And if you're on iOS, well get fucked or something, idk

I just use Firefox with extensions on mobile honestly

[-] danafest@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah I completely gave up on the app. Firefox with ublock is a blessing, internet in general is basically unusable on mobile without it.

[-] Evilschnuff@feddit.de 14 points 6 months ago

In iOS you can use Yattee and link to an alternative Frontend. Works well for me.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I use adguard on ios, also a vpn btw, and blocks all ads in browser and blocks ads in yt videos in their app. Used yattee for a bit, but tbh I didn’t like the UX, then it stopped working so I switched

[-] JTheFox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Seconded on this one. I use Yattee with Piped as my frontend, with an account as well, and it’s been pretty solid so far.

[-] doubletandard@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

didn’t work for piped.video and yewtu.be. which front end are you using?

[-] mryessir@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago

He explicitly told you to get lost or something, dude!

[-] Twitches@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

You just got me free music, I couldn't afford it anymore so I have to drop it. Thank you

I've been using revanced for a year and something happened in the past couple of weeks where it just refuses to work and keeps sayi go there's no internet connection :( I have uninstalled and reinstalled/patched things as per instructions and nothing.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

On ios there's brave browser and firefox focus.

[-] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 20 points 6 months ago

Hosting a streaming service is incredibly expensive. Especially at the scale of YouTube. I can imagine YouTube is costing far more for Google than Search itself.

My guess is that YouTube has never really been profitable, which is why they’re pushing users to buy Premium.

[-] splonglo@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

Youtube has always claimed that it doesn't turn a profit but I don't believe them. My reasoning is that if the server costs are more than the revenue today, then they're going to be worse tomorrow. A gorillian gigabytes of data are uploaded to that thing every nanosecond. A company can't get exponentially less profitable every second and still survive. And what else is there to prop it up? Google ad results? No way is Youtube not profitable. They're saying that to avoid tax.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 months ago

get firefox with ublock origin. block that garbage on mobile too.

[-] Legend@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago

Just use any app like newpipe or pipepipe
