It's not really free distribution though. People are on the internet, and Facebook is on top of the internet; People aren't stuck on Facebook. I disagree with the importance to Facebook of having brands integrating with Facebook. A 'Like' button on a brands' website is extremely valuable to Facebook's brand, to strengthening that ecosystem, etc. - and is one mechanism the brand used to promote Facebook and getting them into their 'live newsletter.'

Facebook alone didn't cover all costs of bringing users, and keeping them, on the platform. Businesses spent money too, marketing dollars, marketing space, etc..
