Why not paid jobs instead of unpaid internships?

Got tricked into making an app for 3 weeks of “experience.” I was locked in a basement and paid in chocolate. I was an Oompa Loompa! I was promised stock in the company and that never happened. I worked 40 hours a week with 2 other interns. There was a “lead engineer” we could call, but he wasn't with the company. He had his own job elsewhere. The guy manufactured a business to get interns and have them build him a free social media app with no intentions of paying. Someone finally finished the app for him. It's called Nombolo.
