Better way to put this is to pay for the service if you're relying on it as a source of income or advertising yourself to the world.

It's not better at all.
There are plenty of paid services that will lock you in and will terminate your account if something big enough happens.

It's not just income, it's speech and association (which are capitalized words in the US Constitution).

"Association" doesn't appear in the Constitution at all.
"Speech" appears twice, but is only capitalized when referring to legislators' speeches:
"and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place"
"or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press"

Unfortunately, it's no longer possible to simply read the constitution to fully understand the rights afforded to an individual. The US Supreme Court has long upheld that a person has more fundamental rights than are explicitly enumerated in The Constitution.
Technically speaking, persons always had a freedom of association, but the court made it explicit during N.A.A.C.P. v. ALABAMA [1].
