-Depends on where you go for stories. Some are free. But not everything is online for free. And many of the ones that are might basically be stolen since it shouldn't be online for free. And again, it's not all of them. For you to say stuff is free, it would need to be all. That's like if I wanted to read a book, but the only thing online was fanfiction of the book I wanted to read and not the book. When I say free, I'm talking about everything free. Not something I don't want. Because then the free doesn't matter...

-TV Shows: The ones online are pirated, so illegal. And all the illegal stuff online (not just tv shows, but everything) doesn't count into the free pile. Because then you can say anything is free if you steal it. But that doesn't mean it's free. Just means that you stole it. And most of the free stuff online seems like it wasn't supposed to be free. Especially if it's also on a pay streaming site... And also, having a few free samples isn't the same as something being free... Which I believe I also explain below (porn part, again)...

-Videos Games: I still see no proof against what I said. And steam also has a ton of not free games to counter the free ones. Not only that, but steam isn't the only platform. There's Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. And when you compare all the game that cost money (even a couple bucks) the free ones, My point of games are rarely free still stands. So, are you going to post an argument? Or are you just trying to say that you know I'm right? And that's still only a small sample size. And not usually big named systems. And if you don't have steam, most games that you could get for free aren't available anymore... And the price has recently risen (because it literally has). They went from $60 to $70 for most games. And I don't see what it "being cheaper than it ever has been" matters. That means it still cost money... And it's cheaper only due to inflation. But the actually amount has gone up for most since many people are making the same they were before the prices went up...

-For porn, there's that quoting out of context again. What I said was, "Porn is free... on certain sites. Many do have cost, like a subscription. Even the free ones. You don't have to pay it, but then you don't get all the videos. It's like a free sample at a store. It's large one, but still..." you quotes the first part, and tried to pretend I agreed when I didn't. So, no. We are not in agreement. Like I said, it's like a free sample. A large one, though. Just because I can get a free sample of food at the store doesn't mean food is all free now. So, don't play that shit acting like I agreed with you.

-Online Forum & Social Media: Again, they are selling your info, so not free. Just a different currency you're paying. Though, the site makes money from it...

-Podcast: I didn't agree with you. You just quoted out of context again. My actual post said, "Podcast are free... If they're on a free service. Some have moved to a paid service, and are only free if someone puts them somewhere else." So good job lying, I guess...

-Video Conferencing: I can't check because I don't use them. But I did ask Google and apparently, they have a plan that cost money from what I read... Like Zoom has a payment thing. And Skype is only free to other Skype accounts. But cost money when not to Skype. Even oovoo has something you pay for. Not sure what it is. But I don't really use them, so I can't check. But the internet says they cost money...

-The Internet: Not all internet plans are that low. I live in a city where one company has a monopoly and charges a lot more for the basic internet plan. Though, most people here game and don't have the basic one. But the basic one is nowhere near $30 a month. And even my family who lives in a place with more competition don't have internet prices that low. And in the end, it doesn't matter if it's $30 or $300. The fact is IT'S NOT FREE. And that's the whole point...

The biggest point to take away is that even if we aren't paying with money, they are still get money off of us. Or from other people. For example, when I go to restaurants, people would sometimes pay for my meal. So, while I got the food for "free", it wasn't actually free. Someone else paid for it. It's the same for things that have ads. The ads are paying for whatever you looking at like videos or on a site. So, not free...

Also, about the free stuff, the best part is I noticed that all this doesn't even matter as it doesn't even have anything to do with what I was originally talking about. I was saying how things would already be free if all it took was being automated. But most of the stuff you mentioned isn't even automated, so it doesn't even work for all the stuff you put. And not free most of the time, as mentioned above. Like porn with real people is usually made by people. Podcast are usually people talking. Games, stories, and music are also normally made by people. So, not even automated, which means they don't even have anything to do with what I was even talking about. And since they are already making money for those free things, they don't have to charge us (or all of us, since some people will pay the cost for everyone in the form of things like Patreon). Until they aren't making money, or want more...

And in the end, they are making money by selling you info. So, while it doesn't cost you money, you are still paying for it. Kind of like it you paid for you groceries with a tv. The groceries aren't free because you gave them a tv. You just paid with someone else valuable... And again, the internet isn't free... So, I'll ask again. Did you bump your head? Or are you straight up lying by acting like all of this is free? Because this stuff isn't free. It all has a price. Most money or information. And then the information is sold for money... And free options are just free samples. But as I explained earlier, just because a store isn't giving out free samples, it doesn't mean the food is all free. Just a sample. Not to mention, you straight up took a few of my post out of context like a dirty little liar. And as I said earlier, we're talking about legally free. Not, "I stole it, so it's free." So, there's also that... So I actually didn't admit you were right. And the one thing I couldn't tell you about, I found out actually does have cost. You're too blind to see that taking post out of context and having only a sample of free stuff doesn't mean that stuff is all free... So, again, did you bump you head?

I may have said I think I meant plant, but that's because I'm like 99.99% sure I did. It's possible I was thinking of something else. But I can assure you that I wasn't thinking of plate unless I was thinking of "plate of food". But it was most likely plant. Like I said earlier, you don't "grow" plates. Why you thought I meant plates, I'll never know... Even if you thought I meant plate of food, that would have made sense. But just plates... Idk... So, still a stronger argument than anything you made. And not everyone knows how to hunt, or has the equipment or skills to do so. Plus, it has to be something in season. And you would still have to get it before someone else does. If everyone was out there doing it, you'd have a lot less luck. Then you also have to know how to butcher it. You can go to a butcher, but that cost money. So, most people buy meat from someone that's already killed it and butchered it all up. Which would still cost money if a robot did it. Though, most stores will probably continue to serve farmed animals, which will still cost something since they bought it from the farmer, who's happy to make a bigger profit since he has robots doing his work, while he rakes in the money...
