RE: Why my bots are free.
I think in the US, who-invites-who is used to decide who pays for beer. In most of the world, it's age/seniority (where income is the tie breaker, or something). So this creates a conflict when the person from the US invites someone to have a beer who is not from the US who is older. The person from the US tries to buy the beer and ends up offending them.
I don't have any personal-first-hand experience with that, so I could be wrong.
Good to know that about the american culture as at the moment I was a little bit puzzled about the behavior. That probably also because while indeed I have invited the student in the city, myself being so without too much money and considering the discrepancies from the 2 worlds we are living in...I thought that he would be more sharing and splitting the costs. But, at least from cultural point of view, it makes sense...and I might look at that experience through different eyes now.
