I think some of you missed the point of what I wanted to say... Maybe I missworded something because English is not my native language.
I really don't care about the few dollars I make here. If I have them - fine. If I don't have them it will not hurt me. My freestuff will be available again after I'll delete it here. I'll put it on my homepage and I'll pay for my webspace as I always did. So usually I pay my money for giving something to people for free.
But I'll not going to earn money with my freestuff for a business site. If I upload freebies on a site which earns money with my freestuff (and they do so with the siteviews) I want my part of the money. And I think for some people here it makes a BIG difference if they have the 20, 50 or maybe more. Maybe they don't have a job and they need every single little dollar they earn...
If I have money to give away there are better places I could do so (and I very often do so). In Germany - where I live - I give money to SOS Kinderdorf. Also to Red Cross and some other places which are here near where I live. But I don´t give my hard earned money just for fun to companies. Maybe you can see the difference.
So don't say it's about money for me. That´s not what I said. It's about me (or we) making money for a business owner without getting something for it. And that's plain wrong for me.
Maybe think about a company near you and think about going to them and work a day for free for them. I bet they would really love that - but be honest ;) would you do so? Or tell your boss you want to work for him/her without getting money for it a day or even more. That's a strange idea for most of you? Really ;) ?
Ok - this was my last posting about this :)
(Btw. the banner which says "it pays to share" is still on the page. Maybe it´s really time to remove it ;)....)
Nevertheless - have all a very nice weekend and a great New Year :)
