Also, part of the gap is finding a payment method for $3/mo. Kids don't have credit cards of paypal accounts. Lots of parents don't want to sign-up for this mysterious thing called web hosting for their child. I haven't searched for free hosting in 10 years, so I don't know what's currently available, but there's definitely a market out there.

Words that have launched a million (now bust) businesses.

When I said I haven't looked for a free host in a decade, and don't know what kind of competition has appeared since then, that wasn't advice to pursue a business. The debate was whether or not a service like neocities has a purpose in current times. I suggested there was still a market, but whether or not a solution exists, I haven't checked.
