Look, if you build a product that relies on providing free information to the public, then you don't get to select a segment of that public and charge them for it. You can't hang a billboard on a highway, but then get upset when some people look at it the wrong way.
Now, if you want to have a walled garden and charge for entry to some and let others in free then that is fine.
