So you think partiko is free? Why are they asking people to delegate them SP? And all software development costs money, or at least the developer time/energy, it just depends who pays for it.

Sometimes (or maybe always) not all costs are clearly defined in the deal. If those who create the free apples pollute your environment by pesticides, than the "free" apple is not that free for you anymore.

Leaving the air aside, these things are not free as in that they don't cost anybody anything, right? If you are an open source developer, you just make OSS because you enjoy making it, or someone is paying you to make it. Others are then free to use it, yes, but the added value does not come out of thin air.
Anyway, it is all said in the article...

You could say nothing is free and there's something in it for the creators. In the case of something like @dtube they take rewards, in the case of something like Steepshot or other addons to this platform whilethey may not directly charge, the attention and notoriety and power they get helps buildtheir accounts andthey can sell that steem. nobody does something for nothing
I guess my point is there's almost always a motive or reason for doing something.Not saying that's a bad thing its just human nature.
So you downvote people who try to have a discussion with you? Cool bro I'll be sure not to engage with you onthis platform anymore.
