2) They sell you upgrades : It means that you cannot use all features of that platform and you have to pay them for more features.
3) Traffic usage : If you use free blogging platform, then they will make money from your traffic by placing ad on your blog.
Advantages of Paid

on your blog.
2) Cost : It is not very costly to setup a paid blog.Let me tell you why,this is because if you want good blog then you need to have some investment of $30 - 50$ per year.All you need is a domain which will cost you around $5 to $8 per year and hosting service which can be get around $4 to 8$ per month.
