Until they kill competition, then they'll take your peanuts back.

What competition has suffered because of the existence of Bing?
I think this is the first time I've been accused of killing competition by using a product with 3% market share.

I've already cashed out; they can't take that back.
When they stop paying me to use their product, I'll probably go to Duck Duck Go.

I'm in no way accusing you of killing any competition but that's the obvious goal a company like MS has, what do you think? If they had the lead in the search market they wouldn't offer to pay users to use their product.
And as far as getting back their their money, you would still not be parted with your cash, they'd just use/sell your data and cover their loss from paying you in the first place. If I were you I'd continue to get paid to use their service, it's the best deal you can get right now especially that Bing is not likely to overtake Google any time soon.
