IMO, the internet was not originally designed to be a commercial media. Therefore most attemps to make quick bucks from the net results in failure. However, if the charges for hosting and maintaining sites were to be reduced/lowered, free sites will continue to exist. Some people put up free sites as part of their hobby and a self-promotions.
Of course not all free sites do have valueble informations/contents, but some sites do have what you are looking for (although not as comprehensive), as long as you have the patience to look around.
The internet is evolving and continues to do so, who knows what it will be in another few years?
