> Better than ads, sites can make money by selling products and services. A website with information on gardening, that also sells the equipment and seeds you need. A website with travel information that also sells tours. A website with any programming and IT information that also sells software.
That would compromise the neutrality of the site.
Also not everyone who want to publish information about stuff wants to run a freaking retail business to support the publishing/hosting.

Brick and mortar stores exist and nobody complains that they aren't "neutral". > Also not everyone who want to publish information about stuff wants to run a freaking retail business to support the publishing/hosting. They can continue then with their garbage ads, if they so please. But for those who aim to make more money than paying for their hosting, I think selling some product or service is better for their bottom line and for the web at large, than relying on ads. Strictly talking about people who publish online with the goal of making money.
