AnchorFree is doing Multi-millions of dollars of business doing targeted ads on 
a "free" proxy/vpn service. I don't see why this couldn't be done with Tor.

For whatever it's worth, this seems to be a common model for a number of free 
VPN and Glype-style Web-based providers, who cater to clients attempting to get 
around content filtering. I've been interested in the mechanics and economics 
of the approach, but haven't yet had time to do any investigation.

Perhaps the user doesn't *want* those "useful" things done for him.
Perhaps he knows what he is doing and is already doing *exactly* what he
wants to do.  Very slippery slope!

(Not that I think there is a remote chance that such an exit node would
not be marked as a bad exit just on general principles.  I just wanted
to point out that I find this "nanny state" attitude of "we know better
than you" offensive.  It's bad enough when ISPs break NXDOMAIN, etc.
Although I doubt that you meant any harm.  :-)
