You pay money for anything you like regardless of if there is a free version that is just as good in every way?

  Well, don't build easily reproducible shit then. Become a Photoshop, not Gimp. There isn't anything "as good in every way" as Flickr. And if you give me a crappy toaster as a gift, I'll throw it away and pay for a better one. I don't understand why "web 2.0" entrepreneurs think they're different. I can imagine it may be hard for many to accept that what they do isn't worth a dime in consumers' eyes. Accept it and move on - build something with value, and do it better than the next guy.

    Stop bringing up non-web products. If they are not at all different then you wouldn't have to keep doing that. People would not pay for toasters if you could download them for free. This is getting idiotic.
