Isn’t that basically what it’s like already?
You can have free gmail, consumer edition. With ads, no privacy, etc.
Or G Suite. Which includes gmail, docs, calendar, etc, for $6~ (I’m seeing $7.80 CAD) Per month.
Making it about half the $200 you quoted, but none the less, possible.
- na85 7y agoSeems to me that 200 dollars is what Google owes me for the privilege of selling my data to advertisers.

- ElFitz 7y agoI don't work at Google, I might be wrong, and I strongly dislike the company. But from what I've gathered they're on my "lesser evil" side of the data-gathering game, in that they don't appear to actually sell it. My understanding is that what they actually sell is their ability to serve and target advertisers' ads, using the massive amounts of data they gather by violating their users' privacy. Unlike these ISPs, who just sell the data itself, or Facebook who just gave it away for free for years.

- SquareWheel 7y agoYou're correct. They have never sold information as the parent commenter is claiming.
