Writers have this urge to write, to tell stories, to reach an audience. I'm not sure these would go away if there was no profit involved whatsoever. You can see how many millions of amateur writers write in blogs and literary sites and forums, without ever profitting from it. Some bloggers have so much audience indeed that see a constant source of income at least from ads...
I'd say some of these moved on to ebooks recently, because they see an oportunity for easy self-publishing today.
I have something to say, I'd rather have someone listening to it rather than it being stuck away in some shelf for years...
