That just doesn't make sense

Unpaid internships are one of the biggest scams of our current work culture. We all agree that internships are valuable to young people who want to get a taste of a certain field, gain some practical experience, and start collecting references for their resumes. Moreover, interns are valuable to companies to train prospective hires, gain some new insight, and build their programs. But where, in all of that, does it say that it doesn't need to pay?
