What's the insight here? How they handle the accounting of it?

i think the insight is that if you count all the other advertising revenue that they book as "cost reductions" instead of standard revenue, then they're making a lot more than $1b per quarter off advertising (or alternatively, the fact that they're making $1bn per quarter is not a new thing)

I think insight is that these Billions encompass more than their "product listing ads" type business.
