Who's marketing a free app with no profit motive?

Was referring to the top comment bordering on self-promotion, not the app.

He was referencing the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

I clicked the comments section hoping to see sivers response because I remember him mentioning it before. I’m glad I did.

Proof for everyone that these programs do work. You have a good memory!
