Uh? No?
The internet existed before being overrun by corporate presence. It still does. Advertising pays a lot, but take the ad money away and let it scale accordingly.
The worst thing about the modern internet is people's innate expectation that others will work/pay to entertain or inform them for free.
What existed in 1993 was a cultural blip, it's never coming back, so let it go.

Ha! I am under no illusion it is coming back. But even though it flows like the unstoppable tides, ad money is not a requirement.
