Five. 5. F I V E posts that did not help the OP whatsoever.
As of writing this, 25 messages (counting this one) in this thread.
5 out of 25. Or 1 out of 5.
One fifth of the messages are by idiots themselves who could have helped closed the thread instantly by providing a valid response with factual information. So glad I am not a part of this scene, as I would hate to be bunched with the users or be targeted as a dev.
Now to answer the OP:
As there is no information to go off of currently regarding Nintendo's online service, your question cannot be answered with 100% accuracy. However, let's look at some things that might/will happen if there is homebrew for free online:
Bans:
It is really quite simple here. If there is homebrew to have free access to online, the homebrew must either provide a universal ID for the group to use online (so many people are on one online account) or it is directly manipulating Nintendo's servers. If any of these things happen, Nintendo will instantly ban anybody and everybody who was involved with the creation or usage of this program.
Possibility of Existence:Like stated above, it would be very difficult to get a paid service for free. Nintendo most likely issues an online ID to everybody who registers. It would probably be attached to their My Nintendo account or their friend code (most likely the earlier). In order to spoof this, there would need to be a method to either extract IDs from the server (which may not be possible if the IDs are randomly generated each time) or inject them into the server (this has legal issues in itself and would never be implemented into homebrew). This makes it very difficult to create this program.
And really that is what you need to be paying attention to. The rest of the technical details may not be there, but really they don't need to be.
You might as well just bite the bullet for $20 a year, as it isn't that expensive and if you can't afford it right away, just wait for birthday or Christmas money (or gifts if you don't celebrate those holidays).
This information may not be 100% accurate, so please feel free to ask others to check this information or to ask further questions.

How can they possibly be working on bypassing the paid online service when it isn't even released yet. You can't figure out how to bypass it without actually having it.
Although we both agree about the 100 thumbs down thing, I'd like to ask how much more is there to homebrew than piracy and cheats? There's one more...emulation. I'd hardly call that much more. Everything with a processor and a display has emulators for it. The Switch would be an awesome portable emulator if I could deal with the joy-con being unergonomic and having no d-pad. It would work great with the Pro Controller, but at that point I might as well bring my laptop. Seriously, look at Wii U homebrew. It's centered around piracy and cheating with a few useful utilities, shit emulators (last I checked), and a handful of homebrew games that are like Introduction to Programming final projects.

Become a mod then. Or go piss up a rope. Half of your post is self aggrandizing. That's 50% of your post that helped no one.
Thanks, The last part was very accurate. I'm planning to get the switch for my birthday in February and buy Rocket league and Mario kart 8 with some online. From then it's probably Homebrewing it and watching what is happening in the scene. I was asking if anyone has said anything about doing it.

If you are getting the switch in February you aren't going to be getting homebrew.
Homebrew is 3.0.0 only, and they are already shipping out with higher firmware. Also no way to downgrade and there never will be.
Maybe just maybe there will be homebrew for the new firmware. If not I can just wait.
All of the devs have stated multiple times that homebrew for higher firmwares won't exist for a long time. So no it won't exist by the time you get your switch, and likely not for at least a year after, if not longer.
Actually I bought Rocket league later, I have no problem with the PS3 controller except the software and it's not a big deal. I'm the type of person who wants to use his stuff till it gives up. Why would I build a new pc when it works almost perfectly and the main game I play (csgo) runs good. I don't need a new pc just for 1 game.

Proxy is a good starting point. Creating a false "paid" flag was possible back in the 360 days. You think those hackers paid for those accounts? Pfffft

NeoGAF says hi.
Internet security has gotten somewhat better since the 360. You likely won't be using proxy hacks for the switch. Can't modify packets if you don't have the ssl certificate.

This is true, but anything is possible with the right minds. Personally? If the paid service is something good I'll gladly pay for it. Right now I'm throwing $100 a year toward Xbox Live (4x 3 month payments and no I can't change it don't ask).. Looking to drop it as I game on PC.
The main backlash that happens in gbatemp is when people ask questions that can be answered with either a quick Google search, basic understanding of key aspects of console exploiting (which I believe every homebrew user should have a basic understanding of what their homebrew involves), or when they think they come up with a brilliant idea and don't bother to fact check and research before putting it on here. Not saying the response is okay, but when half of the posts made in these threads now involve things like that it can start to get annoying, especially when it's the same question being asked hundreds of times that choice have been found by doing a forum search, I can see how people would get annoyed by it. Still I would rather at least politely tell them what they did wrong instead of just saying "lol ur an idiot".
This.... This right here.... THIS is what's wrong with the 'temp. You guys are fucking assholes. 3DS had official online access with pirated games, is this question REALLY so stupid? Look, not every gets this stuff. Maybe his question is an obvious one to most in this scene, but there's no need to tear him down because he asked something you may consider obvious. ....and don't any of you start with the "omg these kids only care about free games bla bla bla," because I'm willing to best most, if not everyone here has downloaded a game illegally.
Seriously disgusting behavior.
