GMail is already a product people can and do pay for. That would surely be fine.<p>Google is in a different category for me as far as ads go. When people are actively searching for something, offering them things they are searching for is working with their interests. Most advertising, though, is distraction from whatever the user is up to, so it&#x27;s working against their interests.<p>YouTube might have a problem. People might, god forbid, actually have to pay to host stuff. I suspect we&#x27;d survive.
