Any service that can garner 100s of millions of users can find a way to monetize. I heard people say this a thousand times in 1999. I doubt it's any more true

Any service that can garner 100s of millions of users can find a way to monetize. I heard people say this a thousand times in 1999. I doubt it's any more true now than it was then.
