Gonna be real, if your entire knowledge base is that you've heard that there are fees for entering cities then you really do need to do some googling. A lot of tourist destinations in europe charge tourism taxes in a variety of forms, and can because they are worth travelling to.
It also depends on what you consider to be cheap and worth travelling for. Eastern Europe is pretty cheap and great for WWII buffs or hikers, but not so good for people just looking to party. Amsterdam has plenty of food and culture and is cheaper than Stockholm, but still more expensive than somewhere like Lisbon.
Maybe sort out your own communication before making snide comments about other people's.
Just like the reason why there is a charge for using the toilet is that the toilet is worth using.
No, toilets have charges because shitting and pissing are necessary human bodily functions but doing it in public is illegal, so they have a monopoly on where you can piss or shit and can make you jump through basically whatever hoops they want in order to access their facilities. Nobody needs to go to Venice, Edinburgh, or Barcelona, but millions do every year because of the history and culture they can only access there.
