The ads are the tribute we "pay" as users of free services that are convenient and useful for us in some way..
Theres nothing wrong with the model in itself, it works, it make some things free for us..
The review model you have pointed out, is a ok model i think.. because there's social benefit for all users involved.. this is much more a "facebook like model".. and that can be done because its up to you and your own choices to sponsor some idea, a place or a product if you wish..
But the proposed model will not depend on you, or your will.. and thats what's bad about it.. its just disrespectful.. and we are talking about the possible customers of the sponsored services and products..
But if they really need to do that, at least they should share the profits with the people being exposed to do that..
That way people would consciently participate of this process(by choosing to opt-in and not to opt-out)..
The other thing that is pretty disrespectful and make people anger about, is the fact that people would automatically get into this advert model thing and to choose to opt out of it.. so people that dont even know wahts happening will have their faces and privacy exposed, and maybe look to their friends that they wish to do it...
The correct way to do that would be create this, and invite people to opt in.. if they wish.. this show that the company, whoever they are respect the user of its service..
Otherwise the message looks like: "You use our free services therefore we own you"
I dont care if its google, facebook, microsoft or apple.. i know that things dont used to be like this.. things are getting scary with time.. in a way we wonder what sort of transformation are happening to them? they used to have such a cool services.. and they were profitable in the same way..
Somewhere over the rainbow, they lose their track.. its time to get back to its own roots, before its too late
