Pay $ for Google Most people are not interested in paying to use Google but some would if they had to if the responses to this post are any indication. Signal vs. Noise asked the question "Would you pay $5/month to use Google?" and the answers are a mix of yes, no and maybe.

The concept of paying for search seems highly unlikely given the vast amount of competition Google has in search. Google is also very much ad advertising-based product. It would be a massive change for the company to switch from advertising to a subscription type model.
