I don't rule it out. Gates managed to pull it off when I didn't think it was possible

These two statements seem to be in conflict

They instead extended it for 77 days due to COVID-19. Basically punting for now

It's an avenue for social coordination. The benefit of having a hive mind is that you get to have a hive.

Are his quoted 1.4bn Android devices all outside of China? If not then the numbers for mobile and desktop come out pretty similar:
1.3bn non-China Android users = 1.4bn Android users - 0.386bn China Android users [1]
1.28 searches/user/day = 50bn searches / (1.3bn users * 30 days)

> "don't watch my video unless you pay $5"
This is an explicit agreement between the customer and content provider. YouTube, Google search, etc don't have any explicit agreement with users in this regard -- the ads just show up.
The TOS says it, your understanding of their business model conveys it, but at the end of the day they just shove the ads in there without directly claiming to their customers, "you must see ads and be tracked to get free content".
I think usage would change dramatically if they actually claimed this when a user first uses their service.
