Donations and ads sweeten the pot a lot. Also you don't really need to buy media if someone else already made it available for download, and you don't need to store it if you're uploading to external hosts. So if you're running a video game repacker site, and you get all your games from scene releases, you upload all your files to various external file hosts, and you run ads on your site + inject pay per click links, you could probably turn a profit from your hobby.
