"Lots of users would gladly pay way more than $30/year have an ad-free experience"? Outside of ads embedded in Google Maps, a free and simple install of Ublock Origin essentially eliminates ads in Search, YouTube, etc. I'd expect that just like Facebook, people would be very unwilling to pay for Google to eliminate ads, since right now they aren't even willing to add a browser extension.

- catlifeonmars 1y agoAnecdata, but my nontechnical friends have never heard of uBlock origin. They all know about ad-free youtube.
- dns_snek 1y agouBlock Origin specifically or ad blockers in general?
- catlifeonmars 1y agoSurprisingly, ad blockers in general. And everyone (I know) hates ads.
