People still selflessly create things to celebrate their niche interests, it is just that often they find that content is better contributed to a single unified website instead of a personal website in the corners of the internet that few people would find. For example, lots of people spend many, many unpaid hours of their lives contributing to Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, or Wikivoyage, and since that data is available for free to the world with no ads, paywalls, newsletters, etc., it shouldn’t be seen as inferior.
