Not just services. It'd also theoretically break (if taken to an extreme):

Wikis, since most wikis don't pay their admins/bureaucrats. Like most of the ones on Wikia, Gamepedia, the NIWA, etc.

Old school fan sites, which often went with volunteer staff teams

Quite a few media/fan run/gaming news sites, which also often have volunteer writers.

etc



It wouldn't kill Wikis, it would just force them to operate as non-profits. Maybe not such a bad change. If they want to be a for-profit, they can still have volunteer writers but no volunteer admins.
