I wonder what was the impact of the internet making it easy for everyone to just put together a website and dump their content in it.

I'm not even considering self-publishing services. Just buying a domain, pay a hosting company to host your site, and make it available for everyone.

I've been stumbling upon a few sites that follow the "book as a site" pattern. Some provide a free tier along with a premium access, which sometimes includes additional services.

Why would anyone go through the trouble and cost of printing out a book if putting up a website costs pennies?
