There are plenty of free things on the Internet. You're commenting on a free social network.

I pay $100/month for internet access.

Lemmy may be free to access, but certainly not free to host. Am I paying for it personally? No, but someone is.

You also don't see Lemmy paying hundreds of YouTubers and influencers for ad spots.

Wow, internet is expensive where you are. I pay £28 (about $35) a month for 1gig up/down in the UK.

It's more expensive in remote areas and areas without competition.
