      Just because someone’s making money off it doesn’t mean it’s not free (frankly it’s a reason it should be)

        The phrase “free is never free” already acknowledges that the service does not require payment (free), but it implies that you are used as a method of making money.

        It’s just a phrase to keep people aware.

          I was also kinda referring that a lot of free hosting has something in their contract that specifies that everything belongs to them after you upload it. Obviously more legalese than the way I said it.
