No, they want to reduce bandwidth costs. If it drives away people who don't pay, so much the better

You seem fixated on this idea that sites want the biggest audience possible. That's simply not true. IGN would rather have 5,000 paying readers than a million who don't pay. If you don't like it, go away. They aren't going to care, and Insiders like myself certainly aren't going to care.
