It depends:
- On my mood
- On my time
- On my taste

Simply put, no.
But mostly, yes. :P
No I do not always take freebees. Usually I do, but if I am offended by a game's content and/or it's devs' actions and/or it looks like a total crap game that I would definitely never play, then I don't take it.
Any i can get. Theres a high chance ill never play them... but thats true for a lot of games i buy on sale as well ;) I actually found a few pretty nice ones that i wouldn't have tried otherwise.
If it is a game in which I would never be interested, no. However, most of the time, even if I do not believe I am going to want it any time soon I usually take it on the off chance I might wish to try it in the future.

Your comment remembered me of a freebee that I only didn't take was a left political theme game (I forget the title name, only remembering the game is about riot action). I am not right or left or wherever, but I prefer a game that is not too involving today's real politics, so I skipped it.

Tonight We Riot was on giveaway from April 30 until May 2, 2021.
Most of the time I do, unless it's something I find truly aesthetically offputting (Like that grotesque Unity port of Daggerfall) or ethically reprehensible (Tonight We Riot).

As long as I don't own them, I always take them. At least the games. I think I skipped several goodie packs, because I'm not that much into artbooks, soundtracks and similar stuff.

I don't take additional gift keys though. They are only valid for a short time and after every giveaway the forum is flooded with free keys anyway.
Before they made it automatically subscribe to all emails I took all of them. But once they made them carry a cost, even one as little as unchecking that box again after, it made me pause to think at least for a moment, so since then, if I know I won't be interested in a game, I don't take it anymore.
No, I don't take the free games that GOG gives away on the front page. Firstly because they aren't really free, but are paid for by accepting "marketing communication". I try hard to avoid advertising, even if it's benign stuff like this. And Secondly because the free games fall into one of two categories:

1) Games I want to play, in which case I almost certainly already bought them.
2) Games I don't want to play, in which case it's pointless to own them.

UsernameTaken2: 2) Games I don't want to play, in which case it's pointless to own them.
There are some exceptions to that, although a bit rare, especially on GOG.
Sometimes you can get cheaper bundle price if you already own a certain number of games offered, so owning a game that you will never play is actual beneficial in those cases.

That's a special case, and more applicable on Steam, but still, there are those reasons.
If it's something that I'm at least a little interested in, I take it, which happens more often than not. For games that I really want, I usually spent the money already.

I take most of them, the ones I am not interested in I hide.
No, but I take more now than I did because it feels like a way of "sticking it to the man" as I am dissatisfied with GOG's direction and don't wish to spend more money here, so taking the freebies feels like a good way to get games.

And I will never take GWENT online game nor other online-only games (names escaping me) here, not for free, and not even if they paid me (yes, seriously. I don't want DRM or DRM-like games).
I never take any game, free or extremely cheap, which I know I'm never going to play (as maybe I don't like its genre). So I have very few of the games GOG gave in giveaways since my subscription. For example in the current sales period, I claimed only Ghost of a Tale.
