HOSTING COST
It's not just about running a wordpress website here.
Most decent site run auto uploaders which need decent size seedboxes. Easily hovering around a thousand dollars
Sources/runners:
If its a scene pre-d site you need access to some runners. Scene access isn't cheap
Changing Domains & black hat seo:
These sites are constantly loosing domains and almost all google ranking ones are using black hat seo to get their ranking. Usually means paying someone to do the dirty work.

Some revenue streams you missed
- Pay Per Link (aka locked/paid link shortner)
things like AdFly
- Background Crypto miners (becoming rather popular on streaming sites)
-'FTP ACCESS' / paid subscriptions
Still millions? Not by a long shot.. Few thousands.. Probably yes
- user5994461 9y agoIt's really just about running a wordpress site. My blog is a wordpress so I'm pretty familiar with it. Just need a good theme. It couldn't be further from being a scene site. The content is limited and most of it is published late compared to some other sources available. AdFly is a mix of pay per view and pay per click. Didn't think it was worth a specific category but why not. Crypto is a new thing, that certainly wasn't available a year ago. That's a very interesting point though, shady sites will probably be the first ones to have a good use for it.
