I mean, I have said for years that we’re not doing our users any favors by hosting things for free because the so-called “free” sites and services they currently use are “free” because they sell people’s data to unsavory organizations around the world. And when we provide our services for free without those funding mechanisms, we teach people not to help support the services they use, which traps them on sites that are ad farms / data brokers.
