Maybe massive online services shouldn't be totally free?

You say forums before the mid-2000s were pretty cool, but Something Awful is still going and has always been $10.

I really don't want to be the product anymore. I would gladly pay for a good service with reasonable moderation.

I'm paying for Discord right now, even.

I think its a good question in principle, as it may spark introspection and innovation

In practice in the present its understood that this is an uneconomical idea

Maybe its free APIs that are a zero interest rate phenomenom
