Have you given no thought to the many WorldConnect submitters who later pass away but leave instructions with their heirs that their family tree is to be left online as a help to future researchers who may want to add to it or correct an error? Errors can be corrected via Post-em Notes and additions can be uploaded in your own trees. I personally helped some submitters who knew they had a terminal illness or who were about to go into a nursing home and lose Internet access (and the ability to keep their tree updated) forever. But they didn't want their life's work to be lost or not be available to provide others with a starting point for the future. When a friend of mine learned she had only a month to live with terminal brain cancer she worked for those last few weeks (as long as she was able) to get her most recent GEDCOM uploaded to WorldConnect and it was her last wish that no one ever remove it.
