If google would agree to stop tracking me and selling my data, I would be willing to stop blocking ads. As it is, I don’t see why I should pay twice.

  They already don't sell your data. The other economic value that "tracking" data could have is to show you better targeted ads. But when you block the ads, that potential value is irrelevant. So you're choosing to not pay at all, "paying twice" has nothing to do with it. Not that there is anything wrong with that. You have the opportunity to take something for nothing, and seized it. But at least be honest about your motivations.

    Technically you’re right. They collect data on me and my behavior and then sell access to my screen real estate in an abstracted way. I am more than willing to pay for services in exchange for being exempted from adsense, and from being tracked and profiled across the net. But I’m going to fight back when I’m the product. Youtube premium doesn’t offer that option- they will continue to collect data on my behavior even if they don’t show me advertising, because they don’t want to make public the true nature of the exchange.
