Quote - What I hear you saying is that the freebie provider should get paid for uploading freebies while the MP pays the cost for them to showcase their work and provides the traffic. This seems to be antithetical to the idea of being a freebie provider.

So apparently you didn't really read what I said. Maybe you should reread it. Yanno, I give out LOTS of freebies and I never asked for one red cent and don't intend to. But I see something disgusting about charging someone on the back of a freebie creator and they keep all the money when THAT is their only business model. You better believe I have a problem with that. If they have a subscription model, then offer premium stuff where you give a cut to the vendor making it. Keep the freebies as freebies with no strings.

BTW, I sorta resent that you insinuated that I would be somehow greedy or stingy for not liking the above situation. I don't think I'm alone. I've been giving freebies for 10 years, long before you showed up.
