It's good to be wary, but the idea that nothing is ever free is actually wrong and helps make people think they have to give up something or pay etc. even when they don't need to. We need to get beyond "How can it be free‽ There must be some catch!" and to the reality of just "Is this really free without a catch?"
Because we should be wary but not give into the idea that free is actually too good to be true. Things can actually be free, and people can actually be pro-social in their motivations.
