I knew B&N did free through the D2D distributor.
I remember when they changed the rules.
One free website started putting more on sale books. He is now getting very picky about who he features.
I am still amazed at all the changes over the last nearly 4 years.

The changes are truly amazing. And most ad sites have gotten pickier. They found that by not vetting the titles at all, they lost subscribers and then they couldn't make money on ads (or affiliate links). It's very competitive. Some sites that used to carry indies don't carry them at all anymore (or only by accident) because they decided it was just easier that sorting. Of course, by and large, those sites seem to end up putting the same old sales up over and over again and they rely on Amazon to feed them deals of the day and things like that.
It's been interesting and will continue to change rapidly.
