Plenty of sites operate on advertising or paywall based methods or additional services beyond what they publicly offer.

The web is a lot of things not just free "journalism" and personal blogs.

This argument that all websites should just be free content that the author not only takes the time to write but actively loses money to host is just not realistic.
