You have stated your desires, but before you are so quick to criticize others try and host a free web site yourself. If you are successful to any degree you will endure the high costs of the bandwidth consumed by those who enjoy your site. After many months of hard work to create the service, your only reward will be to sign another sizeable check to pay for it each and every month. You, like everyone else that passed before, will be faced with the prospect of "advertising" to offset the cost, asking for donations which has never been enough to sustain any site, or shutting it down.
If you choose to try this I wish you luck, but you will learn the awful truth of how the internet works.
