I mean, or you could pay for it? I often pay for it, because I am happy someone is offering to solve my problem and/or give me the information I want. Like, I clearly wanted that information, and without it I am going to waste time -- time that is worth good money -- flailing around without it... this impulse to refuse to pay for things that are cheap is just weird.

I know someone who made an iOS app back a decade ago (or even a bit longer... wow, time flies ;P) that was some kind of contact manager for sales that let you track follow ups... I dunno, I don't use it. But I remember he got reviews that were like "this app has changed how I do business: I use it every single day, and I recommend it to all of my friends... but $5 for an app?! come on, who are we kidding here?".

Yeah, I could pay for everything anyone asks of me on the internet. Then I'd be broke.
