Some people are making money not off customers but off investors.
Most of the ‘free’ sites are done to get traffic, and then sold off to investors who think that they can convert all the traffic to profits or some other objectives.
However, there are some products that are benefitting from the combined effort of many individuals who are offering the services for free and not seeking financial returns — efforts like open source software are able to compete with commercial software by appealing to the sense of community, or altruism, or harvesting the collective hate of people for a product or company to accomplish it.
