I think the market still feels like selling stuff isn't sexy. Worry about grabbing users and worry about monetization later. And there is real truth in that. But its a decade past their founding. Their growth is slowing. Another problem is that the "how to monetize" method is still just a slight variation on how Google and Facebook do it. I fear we are about to find out that all these companies hoping to monetize like Google and Facebook are going to find out they are all competing for the same pool of advertising spends. Wall street and VC's may start valuing users and user-engagement less and less.
