It was built and designed to make money for investors and it costs a lot of money to run. And it's still as free as it was - just irritating.Same here. Its becoming unusable as far as I'm concerned.
There are those who say - 'well it creates funding - would you expect it to be free?' To which I answer - "like it was for years? Yes. Why not?"
What worked years ago isn't necessarily going to work now and I'd imagine costs are much higher now with the incredible rise in traffic and subsequent hosting costs.
Even GOT is too expensive to host without creating funding.
