    Also, operating at a loss allows to throw away the contenders that have to somehow profit to survive. Well sometimes those scammy services don’t get to the point of actually getting money (kind of like Reddit)

    But I guess this is what to expect from any free service, very few of them are run as a form of charity, or at least I think so
