I wish Google would stop putting theme so high up in the ranking. I am with you on this one. They have the right to run their business how they want but I always feel baited when I follow the link and did not realize that it was them. Google should really penalize people for information baiting. They let Google see the answer, so that it will be indexed and then put up a DRM wall for regular users.
I got bit by this by scribd the other day, I went to download a pdf, and they said I had to log in with Facebook (I don't have an account but my wife does) I was reluctant but I did, then after they got my wife's Facebook acceptance they told me that the document was in the archive and that I would have to upload a document to get 24hr access to the archive. I think they could have told me there was another hoop before they got my (my wifes) info. I was pissed and uploaded a profanity riddled document explaining my thoughts on scribd practices.
Anyway, I am rambling my point is actions like scribd's make me very hesitant to sign up with these information baiters like experts-exchange because there is always one more hoop to jump through.
