the psychology of being online, why people want it all free or not at all?

seems like a phenomenon that is very much online as opposed to in brick and mortar stores, etc.... people don't hesitate to pull out a credit or debit card at a store and buy lunch or a book or magazine or any little things or spend their money at movies or buying stuff... but online the same people seem to have a psychological mental block about paying anything at all for anything...


the phenomenon can even be seen on any forum including here, people will spend hours searching and will post requests for a software script that has to be FREE, even if there are perfect solutions available for their situation for a low cost that they could save themselves all kinds of time and headaches and just buy it... I think I saw 2 or 3 threads like that in the past day even, where the most important thing to the person was that the script be FREE


weird how there is such a difference in a person's willingness to pay for something just because it is online
