That's sort of the problem with the internet.
If you have a good idea for something that people will actually happily pay for, some jackass will come along and offer it for free just so he can make 1% of what you could have made. Craigslist makes a few million, but he killed a near billion dollar industry to do it.
For example, giant tube sites make decent money, but other non-tube sites with the same Alexa rank are valued close to the billions. Pretty shitty business if you ask me.
Don't get me wrong, it's the way it is these days and I totally accept it, but to tout it as smart business and good business is a bit silly.
