| Why do they have to make money? |
| |
| ▲ | colesantiago 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | So that the website... stays online? Have you bought a domain before or anything online before? | | |
| ▲ | dotancohen an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | My personal website has been up for over two and a half decades. I've paid for hosting and for the domain name. Never had an ad on the site. | | |
| ▲ | colesantiago 13 minutes ago | parent [-] | | So do you expect everyone else to not earn an income from their website if they so choose? > Never had an ad on the site. You know there are other ways of people making money without doing ads right? |

| ▲ | wao0uuno 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yes, I hosted a website for about two years. Paid for it from my own pocket. Had some fun, learned a few things. There is this disgusting belief in modern society that everything one does needs to generate money, otherwise it's not worth doing. Were we always like this? |

| maybe we're better off without websites that only exist to make money. |

| ▲ | colesantiago 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | How do website owners pay for server costs if you think they shouldn't make money? Should everyone be in a loss when they run a website? | | |
| ▲ | qu4z-2 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I think if everyone with a website made a small financial loss on it, the web would be immeasurably better. | |
| ▲ | GuinansEyebrows 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | i manage to do so using money i make elsewhere. the information i put on the internet is either of benefit to people or a matter of vanity. i don't afford special concern to people who want to use the internet for profit. |
