I prefer companies whose products and services I pay for directly. They're incentivized to keep me happy and paying. The more they invest in me, the more attractive they become to me and the more I may be willing to pay. Google and FB invest more and more in their ad business and can let the consumer products slide for a very long time in a way that would never fly if they charged real money and didn't have ad revenue to fill in the gap. (Case in point is google calendar - it just got a revamp but it was what like 10 years of garbage before that?) I don't think corp gsuite lets you opt out of ad targeting and general tracking (I could be wrong). |

Then pay for it, stop using free services.

AFAIK it doesn't use any info from the services you pay for to target you.
But remember, ads on websites aren't a form of paying for Google's services, but for the website content.
Do you read Ars Technica? Instead of seeing the ads you just subscribe to them. Read news online freely? Stop and pay for a few newspapers and only read them.
People knowingly choose free services that come with the tradeoff of ad targeting. That's how those services are paid. Using those services is your choice.
