The business model of virtually every web property in existence is to sell you crap you don't need and would probably be better off without. It's an attempt to hack your brain into confusing familiarity with value.
Your friend is easily manipulated and is a prime candidate for an ad blocker. As silly as it is to sign up to pay multiple years in advance if he is actually using a site where he pirates movies he actually DOES need a VPN and 180 dollars for 3 years is only 5 usd a month which is relatively standard.
