You are the one who is actually not getting it, but if you really want to argue semantics, then so be it. The money actually comes from the companies whose ads are being hosted by WoWI. _YOU_ as a user
are not financially burdened in any way, while visiting the site or downloading an addon. More specifically, if you are using an ad blocker (since a lot of people claim that they do), then your entire argument becomes moot.
Finally as both curse and WOWI has the final goal to implement paid subscriptions, they already consider us customers, the only difference is that they also want to cut out loss from adblockers and get the money directly from us…

Please provide a quote from an official source, stating that access to addons or the website itself will be restricted to "future subscribers". I know for a fact that Curse intends to implement such a program for
certain features in their updater, but not the addons themselves, while I have personally never heard anything on the matter from WoWI (at least nothing in the past few months).
