It doesnt cost a million dollars to have access to a RR, its somewhat less! You
pay for your domains you pay for your IPs you pay for your ASN you pay for your
SSL, so why be shocked you pay a little for this too? And if everyone filters
your prefixes that will be operational value enough to join!

Because it provides me *no* service what so ever. 

What does a RADB tell you about a non-transit network that you can't see

It tells you who it belongs to, where it should be coming from, possibly contact 
details.

Presuming that it is correct, which it is NOT in a large percentage of
cases. So again, why am I paying to someone to provide me incorrect
information?
