Farm user information by withholding synonyms

Synonym.com is using a high SEO algorithm to be placed high in Google's search results for users trying to find synonyms. I clicked the link and went to Synonym.com. It had the usual plethora of crap links on both sides of the site and when I inputted a query, the results were not displayed as expected but a required farming tool questionnaire came up. It required the user to input personal data which the site could farm and potentially sell to others or use for other reasons. Disgusting, I absolutely hate these types of websites and gives the Internet a bad name and reputation. If you own the domain name Synonym.com, you should provide the service of giving synonyms for the user. Sure advertisements help create income for your operational costs but to farm user information for underhanded use is gross and should be stopped.
