I think the aversion to being forced/pressured to do something is pretty universal, and I'm wondering whether I'm wrong, or whether companies are going to realize it at some point. I think this also contributed to the failure of Google+: The harder Google tried to ram it down people's throats, the more repulsed people were by it. Of course there is a benefit to advertising/pushing a product, but overdo it, and you might achieve the opposite: People not just disinterested, but actively hating your product, forever, just due to the way how they were pushed to use it.
