Why would network effect not be important? Even without the advertising model, your profits would still depend on user count, no?

  No, that's not the network effect I'm thinking of. To wit: The value intrinsic in the relationships between your users ("The Network") - to the point that you want all users whether paying or not.

    That would be just as important for a subscription based service. If your friends use the service, you're much more likely to continue using it and keep paying the monthly fee.
