Because there was nothing before Google (or if there was it was even worse shit than what G was peddling).
And the game is still that. G doesn't have to do much, just beat/buy the next one.
And that's how FB got them, sort of blindsided them by that one trick, Sergei and Larry now hate them! You won't believe which one! Google lost the walled garden social network game. Users spend a lot of time with other users instead with content directly, so the network effect dominated.
Also, you're probably not the lowest common denominator, you're not the target audience for the usual ads.
