That's the thing, most users didn't know they joined a botnet, they just thought they cheated the system by finding a free VPN.
I think there's some merit to the idea, especially for free VPNs, but you'd need a whitelist for things like streaming services and something to prevent abuse. Of course these companies were just interested in building out botnets, but it could be done somewhat okay if the right groups of pirates and streaming customers banded together.
