OpenStreetMap is basically Wikipedia for maps and is quite successful. Over 10M registered users and millions of edits per day. Lots of information is also shared online on forums for free. The hosting (e.g. reddit) is basically a commodity that benefits from network effects. The information is the more interesting bit, and people share it because they feel like it.
