Why people did all that work for FREE
If you think people are willing to work for free, you're really confused. Instead, what the people do for free is have fun. They do stuff they find entertaining.
That can be intellectually entertaining, it can be a feeling of warmth towards the community, it can be hanging out with friends. There are lots and lots of things that people do for free.
I always say that we can imagine it being something similar to a bowling alley — a bowling alley where sometimes there are tournaments, and sometimes people get paid a million dollars to bowl. So what are all these other people doing bowling for free? They must seem silly, right? Well no actually, they're not silly. They're having fun bowling, and that's something that they like to do. And you don't think of that as, "wow we're suckers," because some guy gets paid a million dollars a year to bowl.
