Well... "free" has been used like this for thousands of years. Traders/merchants spouting free this or that, like a car dealer giving free oil changes, or midas with a free inspection. Nothing is free. Ever. What's changed is you personally know this now. Many still fall for this, and there are always more humans to be scammed. Bear in mind, most of humanity can't read. Are not really literate. The UN's definition of literacy, is reading at a grade 6 level. Not how you read in 6th grade, but whatever lets a 6th grader, make it to 7th grade. Can someone read a stop sign, do not enter sign? That's pretty much 'literate'. While street smarts exist, bear in mind how many 'stupids' exist... So yup.. lots of fresh pigeons.
