I am not sure either, but your guess seems right. Most of these mainstream sites allow free access with certain conditions.

I honestly don’t understand why this style of overstuffed cheesesteak is so popular right now. It’s virtually impossible to bite into, and there’s enough beef to feed 8 people. And don’t even get me started on the filling to bread ratio.

Like the author I struggle to understand the appeal of a place like this, but to your point I guess to enough people it seems appealing.
