Why people keep posting this drivel is asinine. You really need to go take a marketing class, or even business or economics 101. If you think you can make money doing 'free' and turn a profit then you are a complete idiot.

It takes money to make money.

As someone else said, I am not talking about free, as in stealing other people's content, reselling it, and calling that a business model. I am talking about legally, and financially running a fucking business.
The idea of fresh content, is the upsell. We give away our fresh content in sections. So we give away free content, on free sites, to get them to upsell to fresh content that wasn't given out.

The idea of free marketing to upsell something has proven itself to work time and time again. It just don't work on every product, just like every porn site doesn't work just because it's free.
