""ah yes, I hit a nerve didn't I? I never said I didnt pay for models, I have. Read my post without taking it out of context and turning it into something it's not. Content makers are greedy, with their outragous prices, 20, 30, 40 dollars for models is something that is just pure greed and I will not support those vendors. I support vendors that have reasonable prices for their products and provide freebies with it. I dont care about their living let them get real jobs like everyone else.""

You didn't answer me.  What is it exactly that you do during the course of your professional life that you do for free?  I'd seriously be interested in knowing as I might benefit from your services.  Perhaps it is you who didn't read what I said, because I certainly didn't say that you had never purchased anything.

In case you hadn't noticed - 3D is a large and growing industry.  It's definately acceptable that some people make thier careers in it.  You should step back to consider that without people who make thier careers in it, you wouldn't have your hobby.  I'd venture to guess that you have no clue whatsoever what actually goes into making a quality model.  It's certainly more time than it takes to sew a Barbie dress - but those things have been selling for 10$-20$ bucks for years.   Supply and demand.  

It would appear that you are one of those silver platter people.  You could prove me wrong, just let me know what I can get for free from you.  How many hours of your time that you will willingly donate to a hobby of mine.  I find it incredibly rude when people expect what they dont give.

I appreciate freebies just like the next person.  Key word: appreciate.  I don't expect people to give me anything.  Above all else I  would NEVER call someone greedy for not doing it.
