I wouldn't mind paying Google, but there is one thing Google does that really infuriates me: they want both my personal data and my money.

This is absolute flagrant greediness that I won't tolerate. Either stop collecting my personal data completely OR take my money. You can't have both.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe in the slightest they don't collect my personal data when I'm paying them. I find it difficult to trust any of their promises due to their poor reputation.
