I can't speak for everyone on the internet (and frankly, the possibility scares me), but I know that I'm greedy, cheap, and lazy, and will leap at the chance of free entertainment. But because I really hate to see an author put off their craft (and because I haven't actually done anything to earn the stories I read), I try not to nag.
I've seen too many on-line authors get sick of being nagged and refuse to make more updates. Sure, some of the time either the writer or their readers are overreacting. However, in many cases the author simply comes to the realisation that feeling obligated to a greedy audience is frustrating, time-consuming and/or unrewarding, and decides to end the arrangement before they go insane.
Well, that's what I think, anyway.
