   Give your users one button to push, they will all push that button. And   
   all produce the same result.   
      
   At some point the novelty wears off. Until the product vendor comes up   
   with a new button for you to push.   
      
   And maybe they start charging for some of those buttons, for the users who   
   want an effect that isn’t quite the same as those available on the   
   freeware version.   
      
   And now they have a revenue stream. And the users have gained no skills   
   whatsoever, beyond the ability to push the offered buttons.
