This was the second attempt, after a previous one (in 2015?) also failed.

To justify providing a service. Unfortunately Google isn't a charity. To clarify, my recollection is that contributor leads to less revenue because consumers are unwilling to pay as much as advertisements provide for the same site. That means that either
1. You as a consumer have to pay more than you're willing (and maybe you're willing to pay more, but not enough people are)
2. Google subsidizes contributor users
3. Publishers take less money.
It appears you're suggesting that its inexcusable that a corporation doesn't want to subsidize your preferences.
