It's not "Free!" if you're paying a subscription fee to get it!

It's everywhere these days. "Free to own! (For Amazon prime members" "Free to download and keep!" (for monthly subscribers) And don't get me started on PlayStation Plus: "Free to own!" (Tier 2 subscription or higher ONLY)

If you have to pay for the service that gives you the "free" thing, then that thing is not free. It's called a ***perk***. "Free" means no money was involved in the exchange. The subscription is *literally **buying*** the privilege of having access to what you're calling "free." It's already expected, it's the service you pay for, it's NOT FREE.

And stupid news sites need to stop saying it is in their articles.
