I think your point is very true. Also I forsee that such strategy will
be adopted by another corporations like Google, Twitter and other.

It is absolutely pointless to create another "entry point" for users,
except for the purpose of categorization of users to facilitate their
further monetization. This is done in the interests of corporations, not
in the interests of the people.

I believe we should boicot such initiative from corporations in favor 
our onw interests. They should create equal conditions for access to
information for all users.
