What’s the best way to get an overview of revenue trends?

The Revenue report in YouTube Analytics provides a comprehensive overview of your earnings across all revenue sources, including ads, transactions, and subscriptions. This centralized report is designed to show you your total estimated revenue and how it trends over time, making it the best single source for understanding your overall revenue performance. Consulting the Ad rates report would only show you ad-related revenue, not your total earnings. Adding up totals from multiple separate reports (whether Revenue, Transaction, and Subscription, or Ad Rates, Transaction, and Subscription) is inefficient and prone to error, as the Revenue report already aggregates this data for you.
