> Non-contributing users are tolerated, but they are not really useful in any way. Not at all. In fact it is the non contributing users that give value to your product.

Youtube is valuable because of the huge number of people who just watch videos, never make anything. The content creators, or contributors, will flock to wherever the non contributors are.
