Of course you would pay for GMail - if the price was right. If an ad-free version of GMail cost 1¢/year (a lifetime for a dollar!), you would pay for it. In fact, you would probably pay a lot more that that if Google wasn't offering their service for free. And someone could easily still sell a webmail product, if it were better than GMail.

You can just mention death in all your emails to remove the ads. Google doesn't want to offend you by advertising coffins and funeral services for your deceased relative/friend. It's been a while since I've tried it, but it used to work.
