It's a good question, to which there is many answers.
As you know, many people are afraid to commit to pay hosting when starting (even as veterant), so a free host that allow adult content is the best thing for them to test thing out. Others like to use it for relative anonymity in doing what they do. Some don't have credit card and can't get hosting, there is many, many reasons why webmasters would use a free hosting service.
Webmasters using our services and more then happy to trade an heavy bandwith bill for an unsuccessful gallery with us in exchange for our advertising on their pages.
If you look at major counters out there, you'll see that free hosts serves over 20 million pages of porn a day (if not more) so we are a big chunck of the market and thousands of webmasters use us everyday.
You can pay for your bandwith and you have successful sites, and your hardware can take it, so it's more power to you, but many webmasters frown in light of the investement it needs to get a decent server, and the quantity of gigs they would use after running a gallery or two on TheHun, and other bigs sites.
If remember I think it's HTB who got a number 2 or 3 a little while ago on Thehun and unfortunately she did not make a sale, without her free host, she would have had to pay for the near 100k she got that day.
So for those who can do it alone, it's really more power to them, and for the others, we are a great opportunity.
