> People are sending you shit for free.

They aren't sending you stuff for free, they're sending you stuff in exchange for the right to receive future cashflows back from you (i.e. they're sending you stuff in exchange for taking ownership of your financial assets). This isn't necessarily a bad trade for you, but it's far from free.

They're sending you real stuff in exchange for database entries that entitle them to more database entries in the future. Seems like a no-brainer.
