And further, payments make a market. If someone gives their stuff away for free, they prevent competition from arising.
They can therefore more-easily maintain a monopoly and keep the users as a captured audience, while the quality declines.
This is how communism works, after all. Who will build a car, when someone else is giving them away, for free?
