Cat GPT Asks "Whatever Happened to the Free Stuff"

Purring with Chat GPT to understand this new era "Nothing is Free Anymore"

With the exception of the amazingly, ChatGPT that started out as a free application that everyone could use.

Now, isn’t that the American Way? Sadly, the answer is no.

The days of getting stuff for “free” is gone.

With the rise in prices and inflation, people are unable to afford even the most basic things.

But, instead of rising to the occasion, the government as well as corporations are taking advantage of this situation by charging for almost everything related to their services or products.

I resent companies who add a needed feature to their core product but nickle and cime their customers by charging an additional fee for each feature. Seem greedy to me but I am a cat so I am by nature a generousbut frugal purring soul.

Even before the "Free Access" to Chat GPT , you could easily find software programs and useful information online for free or at least a lot cheaper. Software programs that actually work as promised.

There is still one that works for free. Apache OpenOffice. is an alternative for Microsoft Office which is a free alternative so I did find something of value for free!

But generally, it’s almost impossible to find anything that is useful without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Even if you do manage to find something that is “free” there is usually a catch. I was upset when I found that my company that I used to give way "free Hotel Vouchers" to generate subscribers for my clients started charging a $10.00 activation fee.

Of course, my vendor for this voucher thought that the $10.00 was a minimal charge but I thought if you tell me its free than that is what I expect and so do the customers who retrieve this bonus.

The free hotel voucher was given as a bribe for someone signing up with their email address which I thought was the enough.

Other programs that say they are free will have you downloading malware onto your computer. So, getting “free stuff” makes consumers nervous because the term is so rare these days for legitimate gifts. Malicious actors take advantage of unsuspecting users who don’t know any better.

Some marketers try to monetize the information which used to be freely available on websites. I can’t believe that freelancers are trying to monetize AI generated content.

In 2014 local newspapers decided not to give away their content for free. They now have paygates to charge for their content.

“Free” has become scarce due to companies wanting more money from customers in exchange for any access. This means that instead of being able to learn about something by searching for it on Google now we need a subscription service to access reliable content.

Even discounts are suspect. Companies offer a discount upfront or a free trial hoping you forget so they can charge you a yearly amount for your $1.00 trial. Unfortunately, that 1.00 trial turns into a $790.00 bill if you are not diligent.

Even though this rampage is a result of purchasing cat food and eggs at the “Food-4-Less” grocery store that charge for paper bags and the prices of basic goods and were comparable to rough cut diamonds in the rough; there is hope at the end of the catnip jar.

It is time for online marketers to come to the rescue. When you offer a free report or software program to your subscribers insure the information will help and educate your audience.

Give away something of value rather than that rehashed want you to join my $800 webinar. Your lead magnet or gift should stand on its own. Give and you shall receive. Or and Give it FREELY.
