Money is what motivates most internet sites since we do live in a capitalist society. Most timeshare sales/rental sites make money, otherwise why would they bother with setting up the site? The vast majority of the time there's no free lunch, even on the internet. Yes, there are some sales/rental sites where you can contact the lister at no charge, but I wouldn't want my email address there.
The only thing I can recommend is that if you don't care for Redweek's business model, then you are free to use one of the other listing sites on the internet where you don't have to pay a fee for personal information. Freedom of choice is a powerful thing.
Actually, I'm surprised that Redweek doesn't charge a fee to see reviews. There are many timeshare related websites that do charge for that privilege.
