Yeah, to get 2010 search performance, you’ll have to buy the new Google+ Premium Service package for $5/month

I would gladly pay to avoid all the SEO spam and get a better Google search experience. I think we are many there.

Unfortunately we are not enough, and ads bring more money to Google on average than what we are willing to pay.

Google would also gladly pay to not have any SEO spam. It makes no money for them and annoys their customers

There's several paid search startups to choose from. I'd rather do that than willingly part with my money for Google.

How well do they perform?
