They need to make it nice first, to reel people in. Once they are in and invested, that's when ads start.

Yep. that's the classic shitty business model

  • Make a site that's attractive to use for a lot of people

  • Once you have enough people, lock in the users with network effect, walled garden, etc

  • Use the users to draw in businesses

  • Lock in the businesses and squeeze them for profit.

  • Squeeze users and businesses for money, abandon any maintenance and improvement on the site except for monetization.

It's the 3 D's.

  1. Develop the product
  2. Draw people in
  3. Dump a nice steamy log on the whole thing

that's when they start filtering out the genuine content and show you mostly promoted stuff
