A parallel thought to the sibling poster - maybe the OP wouldn't mind paying money directly to get rid of ads and Google+ integration. Just because he doesn't want to "pay" in the form of ads doesn't mean he's opposed to paying altogether. I for one would love to pay e.g. Facebook a few dollars per week if it would make the experience less shitty (for me, my sisters seem to be fine with digital crap).
