My point is that regardless of the motivation or the costs of bringing something to market, if the thing is priced as one cent then it costs one cent, and if it's offered for free, then it's free and arguing that "it costs someone time and energy" or "they're doing it because they get something out of it" only speaks of what it costs to produce or what the motivation to bring it to market is, but it says absolutely nothing about what it costs the consumer, which is expressed quite simply by what it costs a consumer to purchase it, or how much it is offered to them for.
