$59.972 billion net income for 2022.
But remember, it's adblock on Youtube that's the problem ๐
How are they supposed to make the unimaginably big number go up ever faster if they're not taking all they can from everyone at once?
It's an optimization problem. Their fiduciary responsibility and raison d'etre is to solve it.
It is absolutely ridiculous. If it's well-earned, sure, a hefty profit is fine. But profits cannot be ever-growing infinitely, that's just not possible. Our economies are in for a shakeup, that's for sure.

As is tradition. So Lumberg's stock will go up a quarter of a point.

Oh shit, better pay for YouTube premium so the poor billion dollar company doesn't decrease its profits!
