Just saying that not everything in KU is a "scam" to make you pay more.

Not on a series basis, no.
But how many authors have *all* their books there?
(There's quite a few but they are a small minority. And, depending on the per-read payout they may end up being even smaller as time moves on.)
And it's not a "scam" to offer up loss leaders to build up a fan base.
But building up a fanbase is generally done with the idea of making them "paying" customers.
That is the logic behind most marketting moves and things like staircase pricing of series titles.
