What makes print somewhat different is that you have to have some sort of
investment; with the web, you don't even need to own a computer.

Yes.

Having to put out cash up front in order to use the press helps keep a
lot of really woohoo stuff in the closet.

I see no evidence of that in a time where conspiracy theories, esoterica
and similar stuff sell, not to say excellently. Hey, Erich von Däniken
made a living out of it starting thirty-something years ago!

That's because the public is willing to buy it. That doesn't change the fact
that paper and printers cost money.

These days, with POD, it doesn't take very much.
