Note that the ads in which they cry are free to them; they can run them all day.

Not so. There is lost opportunity cost for each of those ads you see on their medium. They would *much* rather have sold that spot to some other customer than use a filler ad for themselves.

Better yet...the money they lose running their own ads is probably then written off as lost revenue.

Based on the quality of the ads they do insert, and how hard they market the time, I'm assuming they're able to insert *much* more advertising than they have actual paid ads to run.

Lost opportunity cost: zero
