There's no magic to the web: it is and always been pages you can access by knowing or finding urls. It's up to servers to decide how to serve things.
I'd propose a better analogy to what publishers are doing on the web: they are renting public billboards, posting contents on them and somehow wanting people to close their eyes or pay to look at them. This is what most (but not all) web is today.
And it doesn't have to be that way. Web3 is hinting at a different world. Not saying it's a better or perfect world but in theory it is one where content owners have more control over who/how they distribute content to.

If that’s the case can I have your bank account user name and password so I can access that over the web? If you don’t want to give it to me, are you okay if I find your login information from one of the data breaches? I promise I won’t break into your house, I’ll just use it to transfer some bits....
