No, saying that a company shouldn't monetize its service is simply fucking retarded.

1) Facebook

2) Twitter

3) YouTube

 

You know what the problems with all these services are? They're struggling to MONETIZE their services. If you can't fucking make money off of something, then guess what, you eventually discontinue it, AKA: Go out of business.

I'm not saying they shouldn't monetize their service at all, if the market is there and they don't get punished by their userbase for doing so, then of course they should do it. 

What you said was that if I don't allow a company to monetize their service, they will eventually discontinue it or remove functionality. I cited the two other biggest online gaming services and how they are doing fine from either light monetization (PSN) or practically no monetization at all (Steam), as exceptions to this rule. That's all.
