You are worth $16,050 to Google in ad value - stop giving them money (proton.me)

An interesting deep-dive into how Google profiles and values different users.

It highlights that even though the service is "free", the sheer value each user holds to Google from their data and ad-revenue. And with that, the impact you can have by leaving them.

I don't even have that amount of money to spend, you can argue if it's truly zero or not but I don't remember buying anything on an advert so far. Sometimes seen adverts for things I already bought and have no intention to buy again as I already have it.

You don't have to buy directly from the advert for it to be beneficial to the advertiser.
