The phrase “free is never free” already acknowledges that the service does not require payment (free), but it implies that you are used as a method of making money.
I was also kinda referring that a lot of free hosting has something in their contract that specifies that everything belongs to them after you upload it. Obviously more legalese than the way I said it.

It’s just a phrase to keep people aware.
