Sorry, but if I'm taking my time, work and money building a website for YOU to surf for FREE the least you can do is put up with some ads. If not, then sorry you must PAY to come to my site. Bandwidth, hosting and my time isn't free. Of course, you can start charging for your site. That is your prerogative. But would anyone pay for it? That is why most sites are still free - no one would pay a nickel to go to them if they charged. Maybe the web needs a lot less sites if people won't pay to go to them.

| Hey TK, I don't WANT your money! Nor do many other people who wish for their sites to be free in the first place.
If you offered me money out of the kindness of your heart, just because you wanted to show your support, or because you liked the site(s), or because you felt like being nice, guess what? I still wouldn't want it. Now, if you bought something I was selling, sure, have at it; give me all the money you want in that case. Buy one for your friends... |

So I should spend money on bandwidth and hosting and other thigns just so you can surf for free? See the whole point is that if you are going to COST me money I don't want yo on my site in the first place.
Your logic is like telling McDonald's if they don't give you free food you won't eat there. So what. Your eating for FREE costs them money so they don't need you anyways. I hate to burst your bubble but 99% of what's on the internet is there to MAKE MONEY.
I'd rather have 1000 visitors a month paying me $30 a year than 1 million leaching my bandwidth and using adblockers.
let me ask you a question. Your boss says he now expects you to work for FREE. Do you? |

BS! The Internet was supposed to be an information resource not a giant flea market.
If you can't provide a website free, then by all means don't do it. And don't piss off the viewing public by loading crapware. |

Just because you invest time or money in something doesn't automatically make it worth anything to anyone else.
Besides... hosting is so cheap these days, I have to wonder exactly what you're serving that you are worried about any of this. I mean, I pay roughly $6/month for up to 100GB of bandwidth, 10GB of space... and this is not a very liberal host by some standards!
