It does make sense. You're just misreading what they said.
They did not say information should be unfunded or creators demonitized. They said information should be "free" as in liberated, as in freedom.
Valuable information is virtually costless to copy and yet you can be locked away in a cage by men with guns for accessing it. It's not far off from how North Korea handles people found with Western media. That's what the commenter above is advocating against.
Have some perspective.
