Pointless. You can't expect someone to continue providing hundreds to thousands of dollars per month of free service without being able to somehow get some of that money back. It just isn't possible to do that. If having a high count of subscribers helps them do that then great; there is absolutely nothing wrong with that if they are not releasing personal information, which they have promised not to do in their privacy agreement (and I have no reason to believe they have, or would, break that agreement).
