Can they let us pay to remove all sponsored tweets? That's all I want. I'd gladly pay $10/mo.

YouTube Red is the best product experience, and it's something I would pay to have elsewhere.

I hate ads. I never buy products from ads. They just distract me.

I'd pay $1000/yr for a completely ad-free Google. (No search result ads, no AMP, no "McDonalds" in Google Maps, ...)

Ad-free twitter doesn't seem like good value to me, but a completely ad-free Google sounds like a winner. I'm slightly terrified to hear what my net value to advertisers is to defray that lost profit for goog.
Never? Or never actively. i.e. do you unknowingly buy a product at a later date because you at one point saw an ad for it.
The "unknowingly" caveat makes that one a bit difficult to answer.
The unknowing aspect is why I would also be willing to pay quite a bit to have no ads.
