Free services? Where?
Free services don't really exist.
Could you suggest alternate wording that succinctly conveys what the commenter obviously meant?
I probably could if I could be bothered to do that.
Which means no.
Why the first comment if you were not going to bother to elaborate?
Elaborate what exactly?
And I honestly thought that he was screwing around with me, because it was such a strangely worded sentence.
Thanks for letting us know! 🥰

If you mean somebody, somewhere is footing the bill, then sure, if you torture the definition of "free" enough, then nothing on Earth is free. It is worth pointing out that if you enjoy (for example) Wikipedia, then you should donate if you can, because Wikipedia runs on donations. If you're just trying to be a pedantic jackass, though, that's another thing.
You're saying this on lemmy.
