      No. Their reward for having users is that they’re in control. Expecting users to then pay them for that control is fucking stupid,

      You DO realize that not everyone works to attain power over other people, right?

      but I don’t expect most people to realize it.

      The reason people don’t realize that site owners’ reward for forking over half a salary in hosting costs for some nebulous power to hold other people in their clutching fists and cackle maniacally is because that’s not the motivator here.

      I look forward to when you can see that.
