I think that part of the problem is the word "free"....many folks have
their pages/lists at free providers due to cost.  Sooner or later,
the free stops being free, or there are solicitations for funds, and
if neither happens, the service either diminishes or disappears.

It's not just web providers....all one has to do is listen to National
Public Radio(free) and see how much more commercial it is now than it was years 
ago.

I think we need to realize that it does cost money to offer free services...and
the qualaity of those services may be less than those for which we pay for 
service..
