Updated, high quality, and free? Sure, to employ what 1 individual? Showing ads for himself (Uh, store link much, son)? In a highly marketable position?
I love XKCD, but you are out to fucking lunch if you think that business model applies to even 1% of the websites you visit on a daily basis. Open your fucking eyes and unclog your ears you fucking idiot.
Do you think your favourite financial information website can just start selling coffee mugs and stickers to pay their traffic and licensing fees? Or that that model will work for newspapers?

Seriously, son, fuck off and learn something. Your kind makes me fucking sick.
