That would essentially create one massively profitable business (ads) and one very unprofitable business (everything else). There might be exceptions, like cloud computing, but most of Google is not self-sustaining without its ad business.
Doesn’t seam feasible for the survival of the rest of Google.
It wouldn’t be a post-Google world, it would be a world of “baby Googles” all trying to find a path to profitability, most likely by invading your privacy even more or doing other unsavory things. Google’s bad for privacy, but if broken up into a long tail of tiny businesses, it could actually be much worse.
Google doesn’t need to control the entire value-chain of the as market like it does now to be sustainable. Right now they are basically the ticketmaster of online ads.

Good, the internet and android are an ad infested data mining hell scape. I’d love to see a post google tech world.

Keyword could. Monopolies do know one any good. See Twitter and Reddit. I would rather roll the dice, then stick with Monopolies
Those businesses would quickly die and be outcompeted, as competition mostly doesn’t exist now in those spaces because of Google.
We’d all be better if the internet was not owned by an ad company.
