So if I have no friends who paid to promote their posts and no pages who bought promoted ads for my demographic profile, my news feed will be blank, the story implies.

The algorithm probably works by showing paid posts to the people most likely to click on them, so people who don't click much don't get many promote posts or the non-promoted ones.
