Do you love free stuff?

in #chainbb-general7 years ago (edited)

I'm wondering what is your first thought when you see something for free?

Do you have an impulsive thoughts "I need this", "I would grab this because it's free".
Do you start to think if you really need this and how you could use this.

Please, share you ideas how often you just grab and then think what to do.

What if it's just food, cloth or maybe something more valuable, like tickets, rental, or may be somebody gives very expensive items as gifts or a free stuff.

What is your ideas? Please, join to discussion and share your thoughts about

Nothing comes for free. If it is free, it probably needs you to spend much time or doing something for them to advertise their products or service. One example would be Bitcoin faucets, they are free but you can get very little money. The time should be spent on more meaningful stuff and that can let you earn more money.

when.... what about Steemit?

it's free and it fits to your description for Bitcoin faucets

While it's free, it requires your effort and devotion into this platform. You have to post interesting topics regularly or you will lose your followers. It's not free as there are hard work involved. However, I have to admit I enjoy doing so. I like this platform :)

I like this too.

but my hubby thinks it's sect :)

NO, i do NOT !

because the FREE cheese is only in the ....
Well , you know the place yourself ? :)

even samples in Department stores? ;)

yes, even the samples. These have a very specific , fine task - to hook you , to attract to the full pack. You go and buy it, and this time you pay PREMIUM, which covers the cost of all the samples , and many many more.

I Hate FREE STUFF. I hate them so much.

There is no such thing as free lunch. Never.

Nothing is really free, from a philosophical view.

do you feel it's always a trap?

IT'S A TRAP! Joking, I just believe there is always something else to compensate, be it emotions, goods or something third.

.. and sometimes it's more valuable than things - energy, time.... and continued moral and physical debts

nah i dont just take anything if its free can fill ya house full of junk not a horder

I live overseas and occasionally an American group will come to visit bearing gifts for everyone. I find myself sneaking over to the table of goodies from the States and pack my back pack full.

When I see some free stuff my initial thought is "I need this", but I tough myself immediately start to think "If I really need this"

I think everybody like free stuff, but few questions have to be answered :

  • why is it free ?
  • what do people expect back giving that stuff for free ?

I also think that just because it's free doesn't mean that you have to take it. If you don't need it, don't take it ! Maybe it will be really useful to someone else in the need.

Actually me too,
but sometimes it think about a coin with a sharing on one side and an ability to accept gifts (even if it's just free stuff).

But it's more philosophical question.

Thank you for your opinion!
