What is an alternative monetization method for Google Search if not that?

Ok so the same old ads and subs. So as usual I expect the ads to be interwoven in the valid results inline with the last 20 years or so.

They could innovate and let people buy unobtrusive ads triggered by keywords. Crazy, but it just might work.

Nah, the more obtrusive an ad is, the more profit the advertiser makes.
