I remember when they sent out floppy disks. For a few years, I didn't need to buy disks or pay for internet access. Just cancel after the free month, and they would ask if you wanted just one more free month trial. Rinse and repeat. Perfect, because I was a teen with no money.

Except those disks were absolute trash. You could only write to them a few times before they started flaking out. But as long as you didn't need reliability, they were a nice cheap alternative to the store bought disks. Just needed a piece of scotch tape to cover the write protect tab.
