Historically, those in creative professions will be asked to do things for free for exposure - graphic designers still see this quite a bit today, and it is quite common amongst musicians. When they are paid, it usually isn't at a level that properly values their time and service either. I do some UI/UX work for free, but only for a hobbyist community of musicians I am a part of since it is a community centered around a love of particular content. I also offer some help for free on IRC on solving simple problems. Otherwise, I charge for my services since my time is valuable.
