The only problem is, someone has to pay for that. That's precisely why
services like this can't continue forever without some means of the user
paying -- be it through advertising or subscriptions, or they can't continue
(barring unique situations, donated bandwidth, wealthy webmaster...).
I'll refrain from giving my opinion about the sites in question though,
since I said I would refrain from doing so in the future. It's proven pointless.
