In some ways, this isn't that different than students talking behind the teachers backs. At least this way the teachers can find out what the students are saying about them.
If your site profits $.05 per visitors, and an ad costs $.10 per click, buying ads is not a sustainable model. Free traffic from Google will still drive profits. People don't avoid ads because they are cheap - the ad either works or it doesn't. If it is not cost effective, driving traffic via the search engines is another way to make profit.
Please post an example of a search from 5 years ago on Google that produced significantly superior results to a search from today. I would like to see some evidence behind this type of "the world was better in the past" line of thinking. Are you really any different than the guy who complains that he used to be able to buy a Coke for a dime?
Historically, governments whose populations develop technology at the fastest rate have been the first benficiaries of this technology. This occurs for several reasons, although mainly because the governments have the most access to the technology and can tax and legislate it.
