Summary

This quote suggests that in a competitive market, giving away products for free may not harm a business but could have detrimental effects on a monopolistic entity. This is because a monopolist holds exclusive control over a market, allowing them to set prices and limit competition. By giving away products, they undermine their own monopoly power and potentially invite new competitors who, in turn, can undermine their profitability. In contrast, in a competitive market, giving away products may lead to increased customer loyalty and engagement while still allowing for healthy competition.
