Looking at the revenue doesn't make much sense. In my opinion, it is better to look at the profit margin. The hash rate has increased, and this means that the miners need to invest more money in to the rigs and cooling systems. Any rise in the overall revenue will be neutralized by higher expenses, and to an extent the increase in taxes (which many of the countries have implemented as a result of the pandemic).

don't really get why they calculate the mining revenue based on per terahash. Although that's not wrong, it just generalizes for all of them (Revenue estimates assume miners sell their BTC immediately.) but doesn't represent the actual earnings number for the miners, many factors affect it, how much they can generate bitcoin in a day? when they will sell it? they have different hash and mining expenses depend on their location due to the electricity and taxes vary in every state.
