Getting someone to use your free product is a different skill than getting advertisers to put their ads on your product or getting people to pay for your product. Making money is a skill and if your company doesn't figure out how to do that successfully, you shouldn't expect to sell for a large amount of money. At the end of the day, businesses are about making money, you know getting customers to pay you. They aren't about getting people to use your free product.
