Did you read the article you referenced?

The cycle is:

  1. Provide a useful service to users at a loss to make the service indispensable
  2. Claw back some of that value for business customers (advertisers) to lock them in
  3. Claw back some of that value for the company

They’re describing how nice step 1 was.
