The problem is, you probably won’t pay for it.

Google’s revenue per user in the US underlines that point, taking a credit card out for an annual subscription for a $100 probably isn’t going to score a good conversion rate for anything beyond a very small userbase.

The predicted economic/behavioural constraints are inhibiting innovation. You’re forced to play Google’s game.

I'd gladly pay for a good search engine, but I'm probably in the minority.
