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 thought most ads are pay per click. We have to train people not to click on ads.

We actually learned that when I grew up. Don't click on random stuff the internet shows you. Click on what you are looking for, not what is shown to you, it might be a virus.
