http://www.everysecond.io/youtube/ suggests that the ad revenue is less than what it takes to run YouTube. Is it really a loss making business?

Possibly ad revenue payed out to content creators?

Yes. YouTube exists solely to protect Google search.

Source for this?

Here's a source that they don't profit from it: http://marketingland.com/report-youtube-roughly-break-even-e...

This is a beautifully designed page. The design is extremely effective at communicating the message. Well done to the creator.

What is missing is a justification for each of the counters (where do these numbers come from?) preferably with reference to the source.

Scroll to the bottom where is says "sources"

Not clickable for me (firefox)

Edit: ah the mouse pointer just keeps normal. Here are the sources: http://www.statista.com/topics/847/apple/ http://expandedramblings.com/index.php/by-the-numbers-amazin... http://www.computerworld.com/article/2858887/apples-2014-in-... http://www.statisticbrain.com/apple-computer-company-statist...

This page really needs a pause button. The non-stop changing numbers make it difficult to process.

I was really surprised with the R&D number and thought it was incorrect since I knew the spending to be small. Just checked that in the last 2/3 years there has been a major upgrade in R&D spending.

Not sure where all the money is going though. There hasn't been any major breakthrough improvement in Apple tech to match the spending. Any big stealth project? What does everyone thinks?

Nice UI btw.

The big jump in R&D will most likely go into project Titan, their stealth car project.

The car is the one that I was thinking. But can that single project use up that much R&D budget? You need time to scale any project even R&D. A quick check suggest Tesla's 2010-15 R&D budget is less than 3B. I guess Apple has the money to spend but still its a surprisingly big amount for a single project specially since in the other department the lack of innovation would suggest lessening of R&D.

Could it be that they are also not as efficient with their R&D spending since they have money to burn? Despite my misgivings about a lot of thing Apple, one thing I would like to see happen is actually to use the money they have and do R&D that can improve the state of the art. There is really few companies that have the budget to truly go after some lofty goals.

Apple has a lot of side projects, including alleged driverless-car software.

They're looking to branch out again from their traditional field.

Would love to see this for the US debt

No you wouldn't [1]

> $x from extracting gold from used iPhones

2204 pounds of gold. Such an exact number. Except when you change it to kilograms...

2205 would be closer though

I'd love to see an "every second" of revenue for the Fortune top 50

Nice design/layout

Fake. .

Nobody uses Apple Maps.

Disclaimer: this is a joke.

Also Apple section should have a count of the number of them broken or stolen. ^_^

Also, revenue/profit from selling lightning cables.

And revenue from page clicks of FUD.

Magsafe power cables needing replacement, due to the separable part being the side that never ever needs replacement.

Oh, that is separable to make manufacturing cheaper. They ship the same powersupply worldwide and just swap out the plug. It's not for your benifit. Although if you travel a lot it is handy.

That makes sense. But I've replaced more power cables than I can remember because the bit that connects to the laptop frayed. Had to replace the entire 80$ item every time. I'm really not that careless with them, they fray so easily.

Exactly. Apple doesn't really have much of an incentive to make the cables last longer, because you are GOING to buy a new one. People aren't inconvenienced enough by this to make Apple fix this issue.
