It's a common enough practice to offer free samples or tasters in a lot of businesses. So it's not shady at all.

The real question is do we get paid for the freebies?  Now if we don't that is shady.

There is difference in offering as a sample and offering whole portfolio. I have my entire portfolio in there.

Answer from Canstock:

nFreeart.com is run by our affiliate Fotosearch. On Freeart the only the smallest print size on paper is free for the customers, they only pay for shipping. You would get paid the Paper Print Minimum Commission (e.g. free print offers) of $0.25. https://www.canstockphoto.com/payout_schedule.php

Freeart will is marketing your content for print and product sales. You would receive 20% of paper print sales as you always have, and will now also make sales on other physical products (e.g. acrylic, metal, canvas, etc.). These are higher-priced retail items with a 10% royalty, which will result in higher commissions (up to $49.90) than most digital image sales.

It is possible to opt-out of selling your images on Freeart, just keep in mind that you’ll be opting out of the entire site, and will forgo any of the high commission print offerings.

Please confirm if you want to remove your portfolio from Freeart and we will take care of it immediately.

I hope this helps.
