They sell books which is kind of a tradeoff, but its more like a way to support the artist. Because the digital copies are free, anyone can read or print the book by themselves. On their shop where they sell their books they give you 3 options – soft cover, hard cover, or download it as a PDF. You can see they sell it as a PDF while you can already get that for free, it shows that its more like a donation to support the artist.

Nanging aku mung menehi 3 blok amarga adol barang liyane uga, kayata kaos, stiker lsp.

Barang digital kasebut kayane bebas perdagangan, nanging mesthine dheweke adol barang kaya tshirt, stiker, buku komik. Nanging, amarga sampeyan isih bisa maca buku komik kanthi online lan ndownload kriya, mula aku bakal menehi 2 blok.

I would give 3 blocks, since they indeed offer their comics as trade-free, however they also link to a shop, facebook and twitter page (trade-based networks). And the ad to their shop is quite “in your face”: https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Pasted.jpg
