    Headline is right.

      I mean when you give things away you don’t sell as many of them either.

      Selling stuff works best in an environment where the goods aren’t free but the people are.

      People make money at roadside food stands based on the honor system. Anyone who just thinks “that’s naive” doesn’t know what they’re missing. A trust-based society that keeps accounts is the best society.
