Actually this reminds me of a short story by David Foster Wallace, I think it was called "the devil is a busy man" or something to that effect. There is a part where he's talking about how his dad can't give away a broken dishwasher. If it's free everyone thinks there is something wrong with it, and act like they are doing him a favor to take it, they poke at it, and eventually ignore it and pass. But then he sells the broken dishwasher for ten bucks and suddenly it's like they are ripping him off, people trip over themselves to get this hell of a deal. To Pay only ten dollars for this broken dishwasher, what a sucker this guy must be to get rid of it for so cheap!
Commercials for free=garbage to be ignored, but PAY for commercials and suddenly HOLY CRAP! I CAN BUY THESE ADS FOR TWO BUCKS A MONTH???
