Hmm, maybe. I didn't say provider, I said service. Someone has to pay for the servers, and yeah, someone always will -- but only because if you get big enough you can cash in on ad money. There's no light at the end of the tunnel, for anyone, if the users jump ship the moment their platform monetizes. Monetizing isn't inherently evil, it's life.
