Wow!
I didn't know that.
That's deep... 
I guess for some it's all about the QUANTITY of members and not the QUALITY of members. To some orgs, it's all about the numbers, numbers, numbers. Too bad... It's like some orgs wanna have 150,000 members a minute after their founding. Calm down...

Sometimes I wonder how older members of these orgs. feel.

AMEN!! That would so not be OK with me. IMO that's just plain shady... If I were a PM, I would definitely think twice about joining an organization that did this. Who's to say what their focus will be in 5, 10, 15 years from now when some new "trend" (for lack of a better word) pops up. What next? Gonna change the focus again?
