To quote another phrase, "there's no such thing as a free lunch".
Free-to-air TV is only "free" because the TV network is selling your eyes to someone else. Radio is only free because they're selling your ears to someone else. Even my own site "fivesecondtest.com" is only free because you help us do user testing which we can then charge other people for.
The point is, if there is money changing hands, and it isn't coming FROM you, then you can be sure someone is paying FOR you.
