And you are perfectly allowed to decide against using it, but there are plenty of people that are willing to accept some ad's in exchange for the services Google has to offer.

At least Google is honest upfront about using the content to offer ad's.

When hotmail started many years ago they had no banners, no "premium services" and no rules on amount of email sent etc... THEN Microsoft took over. I'd much rather have honesty upfront with the option not to participate than be screwed over afterwards.
