Google and TikTok may seem free, but every click and scroll you make gets packaged into a "user profile" and sold to advertisers. Take Facebook, for example—it makes about $50 per user per year just from their data.
In the context of the phrase " the free things are the most expensive" I would have thought you will be talking about, water, air, oxygen and the rest of the free things God created for mankind. However in addressing the free things you listed, they are basically not free, these are people's businesses you mentored, for you to use their facility, you have to pay for it
Exactly, this was what I thought when he talked about free things being expensive, cause in this part of the world the free gifts of nature is what you find so expensive whereas it shouldn't be, and I use to wonder why people have master minded to keep it that way but nevertheless if such natural gifts of life can be expensive then other things are not exempted cause you'll tend to pay before service as the watchword and if you don't do so you won't gain access to it.
