You mentioning micropayments made me think, I would probably pay more than 100 EUR/year for using a Google without ads and tracking (except what I opt-in to).

I mean seriously I would probably pay more.

I hope regulations from governments help bring google down in size instead of breaking it up for a monopoly. IT has been extremely lucrative.

Yea, I would probably pay on that order of magnitude (hundreds) to get all my internet content per year from trustworthy sources. News articles, videos, community sites (HN, reddit), email (with strong blocking to not waste money), chat apps. I wish I could pay them all some fraction of a cent per page load. I'm sure it would add up to be viable.
