You are wrong:

WoWInterface isn't going to charge for any part of our Updater at all. Full functionality will be available to anyone that uses it, whether they are Premium Members on our site or not. One-button "Update All". No throttling of download speed. The only difference will be if there are ads showing or not. Favourites Lists have been available on WoWInterface from the very first day of the site. Curse allows Favourites as well. WoWInterface's updater will have donation links for those authors that have them enabled on the site. Not a penny will go to us, it'll go to whomever you choose.

You get ad-free browsing and some forum perks. There are no plans that we're aware of to move any existing freebies to the premiums, nor are there plans for the updater to be premium when it's done. Curse will have a paid-premium updater, with either a reduced-funtionality or ad-supported free version.
