If Google were to ask for a monthly fee for the search engine (and hopefully cut down on the data collection a not), I'd totally pay them.
This would result in you paying around 600€ to use Google.
Alternatively, in a paid-only scenario (where you just pay the 26€), Google would become such a niche product that it'd become irrelevant.
And would 26€ per month also remove all Google ads from the Internet?
