    they make money from harvesting your data then showing you ads based on that data

    That’s part of it, yes. But they can also sell ad companies demographic data - males aged 25-44 clicked on this or looked at that for example.

    Google probably makes more like $50 per user per year on average

    I highly doubt the number is that low.
