"Come join Facebook and get some auto-playing video ads in your face, but no actual content from your friends will be shown!" is not a compelling value proposition for the prospective new user.

Average check size goes from $32 to $250 instantly. Awesome metrics! And absolutely no comeuppance could possibly occur.
