doesn't matter if you did GA of this game 10 ys ago or 10 minutes ago. CV will be reduced for everyone.
okay, I was wrong.

No, it doesn't work like that. Once a game is given away for free, it gets marked as No CV from that day onwards, any giveaways before retain the status they had before. Same applies for Reduced Value. So people having keys from before but who make the GA now won't get any value out of it, while those who made it earlier will get the CV that applied at the time.

from that day onwards
Ostensibly. Sometimes staff will set the day of freebie/bundle-list addition a day, or even days earlier than the actual promotion date, without any clear indication as to why they've added in the additional buffer period (I've never once gotten a clarification on such matters, when I enquired into them). To put that in mechanical terms, I've had several games go free/bundled because they were available on [eg, Humble] a day [ie, 24 hours or thereabouts] before they were on a steeper sale [eg, on the Steam storefront]. So for the CV-focused, it can be worth setting giveaways with a span of several days, to see if a chasing promotion pops up.
But yeah, as long as you're not dipping into the same general waters as a promotion, your previous CV is locked, barring retroactive listing recognition of a different promotion (or of the promotion you originally sourced from). So it's entirely possible to lose CV after-the-fact, but not if there's no time-associable basis for it.

I think it reduces the value only if the giveaway was made after the game was given for free

I keep confusing both f1 2018 and f1 2019. Both have similar cover art. So f1 2019 was in march choice.
