The Mindset of "Free Grab Hunters"
https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/173955?source=Site+Market+My+Products+Page
Lack of Value: People often assume that things obtained too easily are worthless. They download, boost rankings, and if they lose money due to poor management, they readily give a 1-star rating or leave a negative review. If they make a profit, they quietly enjoy it alone.
Unreasonable Demands: Ironically, free users are the ones who complain the most and demand the most support. They assume it's natural for developers to add features or fix bugs for them.
Laziness: Writing a review or liking a post about MQL5 takes less than 2 minutes, but for those with a "free grab" mindset, even leaving a thank you is a "time-consuming" task.
It's time to change your target audience.
This experience is the biggest reason to stop giving away valuable logic for free and focus all your efforts on commercializing your product.
Paying customers are quality customers: When a trader is willing to spend $50, $100, or $200 on an indicator, they are actually "buying" your intellectual property. They will proactively read the documentation, learn how it works, how to read the signals, and will appreciate the product much more.
Valuable feedback: Paying customers are usually people with real-world experience. They will contribute extremely insightful feedback to help you upgrade the product, instead of asking naive questions that waste time.
Protecting intellectual property: You are not obligated to foster a sense of entitlement in people who do not respect intellectual labor.
