It costs money to run a site like Beoworld.
We run a lot of websites and our monthly server bill is astronomical. Sometimes we can barely afford to pay it. It's always touch and go (think high four-figures).
We pay commercial developers to keep the sites maintained.
We pay commercial graphic artists to produce design elements across the sites.
People increasingly demand and use ad-blockers to avoid seeing "annoying" adverts (which are one of the few ways to make money from a website).
....but people think that paying a broadband fee to their supplier somehow offers them 'free' access to the internet, which is graciously provided by all these companies, BeoWorld inclusive, as part of their broadband fee!
