> I've been using Google Search for over 20 years for free which is pretty amazing. Would I rather replay history and pay ~$120 every year (~$2400 ?) to search for web articles? No
I would absolutely pay that.
Search is incredibly valuable and has deteriorated as has the web as a whole largely because of ads and this terrible business model.
It’s not even slightly ‘free’, your attention is being wasted on stuff that other people are paying for you to see.

I value that at way more than $120 per year.
