It creates a situation where the customer is not the end user but rather is the advertiser and that generally means that the services are no where near as good as they could be if the competition was for user dollars rather than for advertiser dollars. That's why I am actively looking into alternate monitization opportunities that get rid of the middleman. But for the moment, yes, absolutely and unquestionably - we're bait.
