8. there really are plenty of people who would do it for free - if they are so inclined
Most people who might hold reactionary views are genuine true believers who genuinely believe themselves to be doing righteous work.
There are a certain number of people who are generally somewhat liberal but hold what might appear to some to hold some reactionary views on one or more specific issues. I'm fairly certain that most believe what they are saying and feel it is their duty to "educate" others.
They are simply the modern Internet version of the sort who in the past released their frustrations by ranting away in their local pub or writing letters to the editor of their local newspaper.
I once heard someone once say, "The first sign of mental deterioration is writing "letters to the editor." Blogging and posting might offer that outlet in this new era of the Internet.
