These sites can quickly start to cost more than the $10 or so and can ramp up to hundreds of $ a month quite easily. Not always something people have lying under their sofa. Many of these sites can have about 10-100x more lurkers than they do active users and also plenty of people who will pop up , ask one question and then be "kthnxbye".

Once you start selling merch , membership fees etc it will suddenly start to feel more like a business and require more effort on the part of the owner which they may well not have time for.

Besides ads for sponsors or popups saying "buy a T shirt!" will be just as annoying as other types of advertising.

$0.10 per GB-month of provisioned storage $0.10 per 1 million I/O requests

Apply to above comment, and how large do you need to grow until hundreds of $ for a month? even if the cost goes up to 100$, isnt that like 5 beers?

1 TB or more outgoing is not so uncommon once you factor in bots , crawlers , lurkers etc.
