> If you buy youtube premium you'll very likely see more ads for youtube premium
Really? I have youtube premium and I can't recall seeing ads for it. Why would they advertise a product to people that already have that product?
> Google Ads could have a flag that turns it's data collection/sharing off and replaces it with micropayments to any site that user visits that are running Google Ads.
I guess you still see ads with this setting, they're just not personalized. Hypothetically you could imagine a "stronger" setting that doesn't just do away with personalization, it does away with ads altogether by allowing the user to "outbid" any advertiser. But I suspect there will be some surprised users who get a bill for hundreds of dollars by doing some particularly high-value searches like "personal injury lawyer" or "mortgage" or something.
And if it were a flat rate, my intuition is that the fee would have to be much higher than most would expect or be willing to pay.

FWIW, this flag already exists, except you don't have to do micropayments: https://adssettings.google.com/
