ilinamorato, 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago) Ok, I’m curious. Gonna do some math. YouTube makes $30B/yr in revenue. YouTube has 2.7B active users. This means that YouTube is making about $11.11/person/year. uBlockO has 10m active users. This means that uBlockO is costing YouTube $111m annually, or about 4% of their overall revenue. I’ll admit, that number is bigger than I expected. But almost any other line item on their budget sheet would be bigger. ETA: it’s worth noting that YouTube has estimated operating costs of $5B, so this isn’t coming anywhere near making them unprofitable.
