I made a mobile game, and ended up with negative money from the experience. I spent a lot time I could have wasted on reddit/HN/Factorio. I'd rather a guide to ideas that could be profitable than a guide that only tells me to stops wasting time.

Fair point. But I bet you have earned quite a good experience from building that app. And it was an idea that could be profitable. It's never 100% guaranty.
I learned a lot, but quite a bit that made me cynical.

Marketing is very important, but I'll never have a marketing budget big enough to compete. With that thought, odds aren't much better than the lottery.

Next time I won't do advert based mobile games, that's for sure.
