No, saying that a company shouldn't monetize its service is simply fucking retarded.

1) Facebook

2) Twitter

3) YouTube

 

You know what the problems with all these services are? They're struggling to MONETIZE their services. If you can't fucking make money off of something, then guess what, you eventually discontinue it, AKA: Go out of business.

Those three companies make a shitload of money already. Look, based on the principles of the public company, a company needs to make more and more money every year. Expect each of these services listed to monetize and monetize and monetize. Facebook has its "apps" and will get commercials eventually. Twitter, shit, I have no idea who pays for that or how they make money. Youtube started with 15 second commercials that were skippable. Now they have thirty second commercials...eventually, they will be longer and longer.

It's not that companies stop doing things that don't make them money, it's that some companies already make so much money that in order to keep their stock up and keep profitting, they need to monetize everything they can.
