maybe $1. That's way more than the ad revenue search engines get

And where did you come up with this info? Source? Do you really think that search engine ad revenue (for the engine itself, not what one measly advertiser gets back) tops out at "way below" $1 per person?

In 2023, Google's ad search revenue amounted to 175 billion U.S. dollars.
