Paid plans might make sense for organizations (but then, aren't they already paying to have adverts inserted??), but makes little sense for "regular" users. I mean, unless I'm looking to be a more-amplified #troll (like the blue-checkmarks on #Twitter all seem to be), why would I pay to use any of those services?? It's not like my paying will stop them from productizing my information, so "why bother?"
