[This is Julia, the OC] If you're interested, we wrote a blog post on why we included the "I don't want to pay" option and our reflection on the results. It's the first blog article on our website. Also the fact that you would call this "information rape" is kind of disgusting...The user doesn't have to give us information, can create a new Google Account if they want to, and are only asked for read-only access to their name and email. Happy International Women's Day!
