I do not know if this is about bubble. I think the cause for this is actually worse than a bubble - it is shift of consumer perception that everything on internet should be free. With exception of games - of course.
However, there is also an opportunity here: as bubble bursts (or deflates) all these money losing (and free) B2C solutions provided by large companies might become neglected to the level that people will be willing to pay a little - just to get something working.

We can hope. Right now these pseudo-free services are supported by surveillance. I wonder sometimes if that's a bit of a bubble, and if the value of user data and data mining of that sort of hugely overestimated. If that turns out to be the case, you'll see exactly that: these bait-and-spy services will be relegated to neglectware status and niches will open for quality alternatives.
