You misunderstand the wisdom of this advice.

The meaning is: build something good, and people will naturally come to it. As opposed to: build a monster no one needs then spend millions on marketing.

As far as I know, Facebook and Google are both examples of following this advice. They both didn't reply on marketing to grow. They grew organically; people started to use them because they were actually good products.

I always thought this mantra originally came from Google.
