This is not how it works. If you pay a company money and they earn a profit, they will have more money. But the next customer doesn’t come specifically out of your revenue. They generally won’t have waited for you at all, and they would still pay for ads and similar acquisition costs without your money, whether from their reserves or any lines of credit.
You charge your own acquisition cost against the profit from your custom, not the next guys’ cost. In the case of crime you have paid them to hack you, not others.
