If I had to pay for all of the web platforms I use (on top of paying for internet access to begin with) on a daily basis I would have no disposable income. And I'm not ready to live in a world with even more micro micro-transactions. I don't think the world is economically capable of supporting the web the way big tech companies wish to be supported if they couldn't continue just selling our harvested data alone.
I suppose the point is that if someone is a self described addict of a particular service, it's not entirely unreasonable to expect them to pay for that service (directly via premium, or indirectly via ads).
