Pissing off and losing a massive segment of your user base cuts costs, but also cuts your potential ad revenue.

They're gambling on it not hurting their potential ad revenue at all. They'll try to bolster their ranks with new users who are just looking for content streams and start doing whatever they can to squeeze as much shareholder value out of them as possible.
