okay but you do realize they give you there products to use right. and you probably use them or at least use products that need them to function. thats the deal and i doubt anyone would rather it be for cash instead. i mean would you rather pay monthly for chrome or firefox? pay per google search. pay monthy for youtube. pay for android os. monthly for maps. hell google can stare at my naked ass all day for all i care id rather not pay for any of these things

I think anyone, given the choice, would rather pay for something with costs that are clear and up front, not buried in an evolving ToS that boils the frog.

You're welcome to make this Faustian bargain for yourself, but you don't get to make it for the rest of us, and neither does Google.

...and many of us would simply rather not use Google products if that's the deal they're offering. Hence, the original article link.
