I suppose the lesson here is don't use "free" services until you fully understand the provider's business model.

Well I understand their business model. Given valuation is a function of MAU:
1) Boost MAU by any means necessary 2) Pray 3) Monetize/get acquired

That's the business model of VC's and Founders, not the companies. The company business model will only be established on 3, if they monetize. Selling to the bigger fool not included, ofcourse.
