If Google hadn't ruined Search to help Advertising perhaps it wouldn't have been such a stark comparison in information quality.

Search was always a byproduct of Advertising. Don’t blame Google for sticking to their business model.

We were naive to think we could have nice things for free.

When google search first appeared, it had nothing to do with advertising. In fact, the founders wrote a paper on why advertising would be bad.

It might not happen in that way since there are alternatives available. Google had/has a monopoly on search.

For the premium subscribers it'll be good, but they'll sure ruin the experience for free tier just like Spotify cause they just can't keep their business sustainable without showing vc's some profits.

There is little other way of making money from search.
