But if getting back to the how everything isn't free, we can sum it all up. The free stuff you're getting is either paid for you by the ad companies (the friend buys lunch example), or by companies selling something for you (you information who they sell to whoever wants it, not just Microsoft like you assume). So, they are getting paid by another company to allow you to use something like an email address. It's pretty simple. Free for you doesn't mean it's actually free. Just means someone else paid. And even then, some places offer premium version of stuff that you also have to pay for... Like porn, youtube (red), and certain podcast apps... a bunch of stuff, really... And the internet still cost money like I said earlier... And for the pictures, if some paid for them and then put them up for others to use, that would be the equivalent of going to a party that the host got a caterer for. They paid for a bunch of food, and everybody partook. Again, free for you. But not free since someone paid... So, no free pictures either... And again, free for you doesn't mean free. Just because someone paid for you food doesn't mean the food itself is free. You just aren't the one paying. But the food still cost money... So, it's not actually free. That's like saying NetFlix is free since you use somebody else's account. That would be wrong. NetFlix still cost money. You just aren't paying for it... For stories, again, it depends. I think many sites have ads. But I would need to know the sites. Or you could have a book account with Kindle or whatever. Or you are buying physical books for money... So, no. I'm not admitting you right. I have no idea if any are really free. I personally haven't seen them. But not a much like you claim. And I can tell you the scholastic book fair definitely wasn't free... And some books are stolen since people other than the author will sometimes put a story up... And yes. It would need to be all of it. You can't say game are free if only 2 out of 5 million were... And for video games, I still see no proof against what I said. Though, maybe you forgot what I said. So, whatever... But if you want to know, I said, "Video games are rarely free." And you tried to say that wasn't true by showing a bunch of free games on steam. And the end result was that still didn't go against what I said... And those fermium game on mobile go with the ads stuff. The ads are paying for you... And any micro transactions some people make... And like I said earlier, video conferencing does have paid versions, which I didn't know about. But in the end, none of this matter as none of this had anything to do with what I was originally talking about... So, it was a waste...

And things should get cheaper over time, but not everything doesn't Some things stay at the same price, even when companies find cheaper way to make the stuff. Because they want profit. And some things do get more expensive. Like roombas. Which has gone up in price. They were only $199.95 when they were first invented. And now, all of them seem to cost more. And I asked the question twice for emphases. Not because forgot I asked it. I'll say stuff twice because you seem to miss stuff all the time... Like all the context in my post. End result is it's not free, and had nothing to do with what I was talking about... And I still don't know why you thought I meant plates. Why would some "grow plates". Especially when, if you knew how to use context clues, you would have seen me also mention meat and cheese and seeds (for the plant)... Context clues, though... If something doesn't make sense (like growing plates), then maybe it was a typo. And it clearly was. And clearly showed what it should have been... And people make typos. Especially when I have to write hundreds of replies. And you just keep adding more. So, typos will happens. When I have shorter posts, I can usually spot them. But not with pages of post. Not only that, but if the typo is a real word, it won't even show up with red or blue underlines. Meaning I won't even know there is a mistake...

For hunting, some people may teach you for free if you can find them. If you can't classes cost money. So do the actual weapons and ammo. Which cost money. And like I said, if everyone was out doing it, there would a lot less. Not to mention the laws surrounding the amount and time you can kill them. And the fact that you will only find certain animals. You most likely won't find cows and chickens just running around. It's makes more sense to just go to the store and buy it. And there's still learning how to actually butcher it and stuff... And then, some people just suck at it. Or have a hard time actually killing the animal... Hence why some people are glad the farmers and butchers can do it for them...

Something you forgot is that the robots the farmer buys has a cost, too. They need to make that money back first before anything is really profit. So, they need to make that back first. Also, by automated their work force, you know what that means right? More profit. So, here's my question. Why would they automate their whole work force and lower food prices so that their profit margin stays the same. The answer is, they wouldn't. That's bad business. The reason to automate is to help gain a better profit. So, they would automate their work force, and sell food at the same price to make a bigger profit. Because that's how businesses work... They can only undercut so much before automating everything was just a big waste of money, as they still need a higher profit than before... Plus, they may not actually need to undercut. You have places like In-N-Out which kinky order from a certain place. They are looking for the cheapest place. They're finding a place they trust. Which certain business will do. Like if they only buy local or something... And no, the bills still don't go away unless the farmer owns them. Animal feed will still cost money since it's bought from the store. Even if you have a robot vet, you still need to buy the medicine. Or the materials to make the medicine. Even with a robot butcher, you need to buy a butchering set for it to use. I heard those could be expensive. And that also means buying those robots to do that stuff... So, no. Robots don't make everything free. They make humans lazy, and they just mean certain humans can make more money while screwing the rest of people over, and without lifting a finger...

The main problem is I think you don't think people will own or rent the robots or something. Many people will own and rent them. And if they do, anything the robots make, find, mine, or whatever belongs to whoever owns or is renting them. So, things still cost money because it's not like the robots own it. Whoever owns them owns it. And they will sell for a profit. Also, again, you might not be able to just send your robots out the get materials for free. If what you need is in a mine, for example, you need permission to mine there. And most of the time, a company either owns the mine, or the rights to anything mined from there... So, even without a farmer overseeing the robots, somebody owns the land and the robots. That person will be the one making money. They are just going to give stuff away for free. That's why someone is always making money. Doesn't matter if nobody is overseeing them (though somebody will always be because you have to make sure the robots are still working well), because whoever owns the robot is now the one making money. Maybe it's be the government or state if not the farmer... But someone always owns something. And you can't assume that they will give their property away for free...
