I do not worship at the throne of corporate overlords. Yes, their goal is to make more money. No, that does not mean we have to excuse them for everything because "that's their purpose". Consumers need to take back their role in this process. You do NOT have to passively accept additional charges. Companies do not have carte blanche to charge for whatever they feel like.
It's not contradictory. If you want a VERY specific piece of content, you pay. If you don't want to pay, you use the free stuff (which is in the VAST majority).

Also you clearly didn't understand my statement: It is GOOD for US when SE has more money. The more money they have the more they can invest into the game.
