Seriously aron... crack dealers?
Well let's explore your slanderous comparison for a moment. If a crack dealer gave away
as much as you wanted for free and did not charge you a nickel ever for it then what would make you think that the crack dealer was out to make money?
and in Retailing 101 it is called LOSS Leader.... not LOST Leader.... but nevertheless, the business strategy of LOSS Leader does not apply when its all available for free.
The reason your logic is flailing around on this, aron, is because you are trying to fit the facts into your own concepts. They don't fit because your concept on motivation is off the mark. But you are a thoughtful and intelligent man so I'm hopeful that once the real motivation becomes clear to you then you will rebound and make some compelling arguments. At least then we can agree and disagree with rationale based on facts and logic.
