I don't know about 35, but certainly anyone under 20 would have grown up used to everything being free on the internet. With so many legitimate companies giving away free content in return for advertising revenue or social data they can sell to marketing companies, it's no surprise they would see nothing wrong with illegitimate companies doing the same thing. All they want is the content, what happens behind the scenes they don't care about.
