The big reason for that is that people do not want to pay for quality content or services. Ask any HN commenter if you doubt me. So companies instead focus on growth to get the ad cents from the millions of impressions, or trick "whales" by manipulating their addiction in the same manner as casinos.
As long as people call anybody a fool for paying for online services, don't expect things to improve.
