Advertising is going to blow up like real estate.

How about a setting like "I don't want to be tracked and I don't want to see any ads" that is enabled by default?

operating systems might eventually be subscription based too.... oh wait

Linux, the superior operating system, will never be subscription based.

Technically the subscription is for the enterprise customer support, not for the software itself.

Looking at the image colours... was the last one red, but someone said that's too aggressive? Looks strange

Why is anyone surprised by this?! Google is an ad company.

So what happens if you just block every ad topic?

I guess you just don’t see personalised ads

What's sad is that I've always been a huge Google supporter but they keep on moving in a direction that I'm no longer comfortable with.

I'm also a certified Google proctor, which allows me to officially tutor and troubleshoot problems with anything Google.

I just don't see myself ever using that skillet in the future due to the current assault on its users' privacy from Google.
