What if they charged each user $1 per month? I would pay that if it means I don't have to worry about my communication, photos, etc. being resold to others.

I'd say they'd lose a ton of users. People are fickle and have become accustomed to free, they'll switch to whomever offers free service.

Agreed, but for a slightly different reason. I often find the inconvenience of very small payments online to be more annoying than the payment itself.
