Simon Squibb Heated Debate: is 'Free' Better Than 'Paid'?

Simon joins Rob in this episode where they talk about whether free content, information and services are better than paid. Simon believes free has more value but Rob disagrees. Listen in to find out why! KEY TAKEAWAYS Many businesses have been built on something ‘free’ such as Facebook and Instagram. But Rob quite rightly points out that someone always has to pay for free, using FB as the example, it wasn’t free to create and now it’s users are advertised to. Rob believes that you value things that you pay for. When you are given things for free you don’t value it in the same way. If you are going to do something for free then you need to ensure it has good value. A large chunk of society just cannot afford things. Free has a value for those who can’t afford to pay. Simon argues that podcasting provides a wealth of knowledge with breadth that not many other platforms can rival. Yet it’s free. His core belief and argument is that there are many things we can provide to people for free that have a higher value to society than if we charged for them.
