Why do you not think it's likely that Facebook or Google would heavily promote their own services? That's exactly what AOL provided when you accessed the 'internet' through an AOL dialup account. If these projects are intended to be profitable, then they'll be heavily taking advantage of the captive audience that's using them.

I understand your point but AOL still makes money off of dial-up subscriptions. According to this article they make the majority of their profit from their approximately 3 million dial-up subscribers.
