Consuming more ads only helps ad-servers when there are enough ads to serve. A lot of big advertising categories (travel, cars, restaurants) are having a tough time and will likely cut their ad spending.

Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Netflix revenues have nothing to do with ads.

EDIT: parent comment was significantly changed after I replied to it. Initially, it was saying that "Apple TV+, Apple Music, Netflix, and Microsoft" were having a tough time and that their ad-serving customers will likely have to cut their ad spending.

I didn't edit my comment, I was addressing my parent's comment (but didn't quote)

> Ad supported services are booming, the Facebooks, Googles, because we’re consuming more ads.

Your comment was changed some time after I replied to it (I checked about an hour or two after, so I don't know the exact time it was changed). I think most people would consider it as being "edited".
I would agree that if my comment changed, it would be edited; however, I'm asserting that it was not changed -- it is how I wrote it originally. Perhaps you saw a similar comment that was edited?
