My question is whether websites need to be owned by businesses.
No but the end of internet advertising will basically be the end of many internet professions that are already struggling. Like writers and editors. So only hobbyists and the lucky few who have enough fame to get paid via Patreon will be making certain websites.
Tbf that's how it was a couple decades ago. Also, writers and editors aren't internet professions. They can go back to newspapers.
