that rise an important question i often asked myself: what is the point/edge between items worth selling and item that only worth being freebies ? I mean 1st of course art is subjective in a way, but what do people expect to find in commercial packages/items and what are they indulgent of for freebies ? Sometimes i see freestuff (mostly on japanese websites) that can easily match many sold items here. Also i see peopel with marvelous freebies, so do they have to even make better that good items to allow themselves sellign them ? also someone told about the bandwidth usage and such. I was dumped thrice in a month by "free" webhosts, and believe me, finding a 100mb (least) capacity, withotu add (or at least popup), and unlimited file size (freebies can go above the 1 or 2mb limit most hosts allow for free) and month bandwidth. Well finding such a gem was an heroic task ! After that point the least expensive hosting solutions with unlimited bp and file size limit are somehow above 15$ a month... personnaly i only make freebies cause i ma a beginner and i do not see myself worthy enough yet when i saw many wuality freebies and products here, so i have to learn and i do not rush.. But of course would i be forced to PAY to offer people freebies, i sure would give up at once ! I think it is a legitimate attitude: offerin free stuff for free, but offerign freestuff at oneself's expense, i dont think it is fair
