As it stands, Google expects its users to give them a whole heap of data and for those users to receive no financial compensation in return. You basically give away something for nothing.

Now that the world is slowly waking up to how valuable our personal data is (we already know to protect our personal info when it comes to physical materials, shredding documents etc), are Google going to have to increase value by revenue sharing with its users?

I’ve already moved away from Google services as I can get the same services from Apple for 79p per month. My data is worth a LOT more than 79p per month so I have no reason to freely give it away to Google for them to generate huge profits off the back of it.

What do you all think?

That's not entirely accurate is it.

As the other posters have mentioned, there's a wealth of Google services that they don't charge for that you probably use.

They could always give you money back in exchange for your data, but then charge you for each service you use.

EDIT: What services of Apple's do you pay for? From what i've seen, Apple's services are quite inferior to Google's. I mean how many people use Apple maps as opposed to Google Maps/Waze?

I pay for iCloud storage. For that I get email, calendar, contacts, photos, files, and any number of other features synced across all my devices. All for just 79p per month without having to give away all my data for Apple to sell adverting.
