We're not talking about working in bad faith, that's bad obviously. But there's no reason for most people to give away even 2 hours of their time for free. If you're working as a freelancer and it's your way of building a portfolio of clients, that's a good reason to give away those two hours. But I'd rather not have someone with little work experience read that, think it's reasonable, and apply it themselves.
In my first year of university I was working for a very small web company. I got paid per website an amount that was enough for my student needs, nothing much. I wasn't a very good developer in my 1st year, so I often received emails about bugs in past projects. The bugs were my fault, so naturally I fixed them in my own free time.
It took me 2 years to see how badly I was getting owned by the company. If they wanted less bugs, they should have asked someone with experience and a much higher salary.
