"Watch for free!"; two minutes later: "how would you like to pay?" = WTF?

[Peter_20]

Why do some websites insist that you can actually watch something for free, if they still start whining about how I should pay for it right afterwards?

[grim07]

Cuz they need money?

[Brennan]

Because they don't understand free until you call a lawyer

[Peter_20]

In that case, they should screw the "free" bull in the first place.

it's called marketing...same principle in narcotic sales, the first hit is always free.

That's because it's illegal to do so in most western countries. It's pretty common in developing countries where such laws do not exist.

It's they're way of saying "we have what you want...you can see it, but if you want more, you MUST PAY!"

I haven't seen any of that happen around here, at least.

Anyway, to address the original topic of this thread: You did watch a full two minutes without paying. That's pretty free.
