I know you feel that way, but I don't think everyone does. Case in point, a friend of mine was telling me that paying to throw little gifts at their friends is a healty business model for the dominant social network in Japan (not facebook).
I think facebook can charge after an allotted free updates if the charge is very small. A nickel seems like a good price. That adds up to a healthy business model. For my amount of usage, that would amount to a few bucks a month -- I think that's what livejournal charges for a premium account, and I noticed you mentioning you had paid for one of those.
Also, your network is very old :) They don't use it.
