It's a fantastic feature, and makes me feel so confident and happy about using this thing.
While that is certainly appears to be happening, the following is more likely to be the intent of the Curse/WowI crews. Here is what the intro page to the Curse Updater states:

Please Note that the one feature that everyone loves about WoWMatrix is a Premium Feature and thus requires payment -- (Automatic updates of all your addons.)

In order to get people to pay, they had to break WoWMatrix's control of the market. And while I understand that WoWMatrix may be a burden on these other sites, the burden will not be any less when everyone is using Curse, or whatever to download zillions of updates on patch day. This appears to be a pure and simple grab for money. And maybe they deserve money for the service they provide, but that doesn't change the fact that this is about market percentage.

Welcome to the Curse Client Premium Preview!

Thank you for trying out the brand new Curse Client! We're excited to offer you access to a preview of Curse Premium features.
If you have any questions about how to use the client please check out the manual first. If you don't find what you need there feel free to ask us directly in our Curse Client Support Forum.
During the Premium Preview you'll have access to some of our coolest features:

Automatic updates of all your addons.

Ad-Free downloads.

Maximum download speed.

Remember though this is a limited preview, and will be ending as soon as the Curse Premium service launches. At this point, the client will still continue to function, though it will have slight differences in functionality. For more information about the Preview please go over to our Preview FAQ.
After the Preview expires you'll still have access to all of our standard features, and of course you'll be able to retain the Premium features by signing up for our Premium Membership
And don't forget, we're looking for feedback so please drop by our support forum and let us know what you think.
