Roll On The Freerolls

Another day another freeroll.
Freerolls are quite simply one of the best tools around for me as an online player to improve my tournament play.
I find that they allow me to play agaibst some outstanding and some quite shockingly bad players.
Whether people play for fun or for financial gain I still find it quite difficult to comprehend how some players play a rag hand.
Recently I have witnessed a lot of players going all in pre flop with low value hands or unsuited rags, why is this?
Surely these players can't hope to scare everyone off a hand, especially if someone is holding suited connectors or a high ranking pair. of course sometimes these bad players hit a lucky flop or manage to bad beat someone but 9 times out of 10 they are outranked and drawing dead.
This is something I am going to keep my eye on and see if this playing style is just people being blasse or whether they think this is a winning strategy.
But for me a winning strategy is one where the odds dictate that you stand a better than average chance of taking the pot and all in should be used to maximise your winnings not just to scare everyone off a pot when you are sat in early position.
Any views would be greatly appreciated.
cheers
