I’m arguing that the responsibility to pay a cost should fall on the person(s) who makes the decision to incur the cost.

no you arent you are arguing that the person making the content should incur all the cost, make zero money and provide it free of charge to everyone. Im done trying to explain the concept of paying someone for their work to a brick wall.

My neighbor makes chainsaw bears out in his driveway. They’re visible from the road, so I can see them when I drive by. They’re nice bears. I enjoy seeing what he’s working on. But if he came out one day and told me I owed him money for looking at his bears, I’d think he was crazy.
They aren’t my bears, and the decision to craft them in an area open to public view was his own.
That’s what other people’s websites are like, to me.
You obviously see things differently. I’m sure the people whose websites you visit appreciate that. I mean that sincerely.
