Openness and accessibility should absolutely be factors in ranking, otherwise where does it end?

What if all the best content on the first page of your search results is behind a paywall with 3 easy payments of $299

Please do tell how to get an X account? It instantly locked my account after registration and I have several friends have the same issue.
I would much prefer if Google just stopped showing inaccessible information completely.
