>I'd love for Google to work out how much money they make from me in a year, and then to offer to go ad-free for 50% more than that.

How do you know that the $50 per user per year isn't exactly calculated that way? I'm actually inclined to guess that the value Google gets out of you by showing ads might be significantly higher than the $33 your calculation would allow them to earn from you.

If I could pay for just me, I'd be tempted.

But with a domain it's all or nothing, and I'm not paying for my brothers, parents, etc.
