      There are, but they exist outside the market. Any company is going to want a return on its investment, and many people have even been trained to see themselves as “a business” and so operate transactionally in their personal lives, but many people don’t also. There are many people who do and give away many things with no expectation of return.

      Someone smarter than me once said, “if your using a service, and it seems free, then YOU are the product being bought and sold”

      I don’t think this is always true, but it usually is.
