I can't believe they made $15bn off of YouTube ads. Who are they reaching with that crap? They didn't specify how much they off of YouTube Premium, but at $120/year they'd need 125 million subscribers to match ads revenue.

Does that $15bn number include all the money google takes in from YouTube ads or just the money they keep after they pay the channels who have monetized their videos?

It's revenue, so before paying off content creators.

YouTube's non-ads revenue (RED) is in "Google other". So YouTube Ads yielded $15,149,000,000 in revenue in Fiscal Year 2019.

Are youtube ads that much worse than cable TV? I pay for youtube premium and don't watch cable TV anymore so I honestly can't say myself, but from what I remember of each, they both seemed about on the same level of garbage-ness.
