From my own selfish perspective - I use the freebies to judge the quality of the merchants. I do use the unrestricted freestuff, but not as much as the good items I buy here. Not restricting me to use a freebie does no harm at all to a hobbyist. In order to find the rare gems of useful freebies, I must wait for the thumbs of the useless stuff to load, wasting my time - I am on a slow rural dialup - no options for dsl or cable. Then I must read the fine print. I have vision problems, and would rather save my eyesight for useful tasks like rendering. I do more than take or leave, I buy here. I use the freebies to judge the potential purchase. I represent more value to this place of business than 1000 freestuff grazers who will NEVER spend a dime. There are options for hosting freebies. If anyone needs some space, I can more than likely help them. More grazers will dl any item than commercial artists, so restricting us is not helping the bandwidth issue. I could care less if the restricted usage freebie providers leave with their useless items, because I do not use them. AND I do try to help people, so do not try to paint me as a greedy person.
