Commercial publishing giants with subscription journals are ad-supported too, nowadays. You find ads in the weirdest places.

I don't really agree that traditional publishers lose all articles by default by this metric. I think there is some value in a reliable record of the journal itself, as more than the sum of its parts.
Still, my preferred solution for all of this is like JMLR -- very low-cost and open access, and it has reliability by virtue of association with a top university, and prestige by virtue of its editorial board (which becomes self-fulfilling).
