I think this is a bit of a pessamistic view of the companies in questions. I mean sure we can all agree that their revenue model at the end of the day is ALL about advertising, and sure companies only care about making money right? So I can see where you care coming from and why, but there are a lot of engineers at those places who could care less about serving up a single ad.

Google, Facebokk, Twitter, and anyone else who wants to make a dime off of advertising has 1 goal that should always be higher on their priority list than serving up ads...getting more users and keeping them happy. Without the massive scale of users that these companies have, who would care how many ads they are serving.

I know what I am saying is all very obvious, but I think there are far more people inside those companies that are aiming to solve and inovate on problems within the user space rather than just the ad space.... just IMHO.
