This is a classic case of where the guy followed his passion/dream. He wasn't in it for the money but wanted to create the best site (actually database at first) for movies and ultimately was rewarded by Amazon buying it. Shows how passionate he is that he's still there

It also shows that money is not needed for even the most amazing services or projects. (Yes, apart from running costs, though I am sure he paid for those out of his own pocket in the beginning because he felt like it.) People sometimes get angry at others who live without wanting to pay for this and that. For example music. If people stop paying for money and that industry fails, so be it. Others make music in their free time because it is their hobby and passion.
