AOL did it.
In the early days, they contracted with dozens of content producers and gave them share of the traffic they generated. Then when the company was profitable, they threw them off the service.
Google did it.
In the early years, they took hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising from small businesses, the only advertisers that would give their AdWords platform a chance. Then when corporate advertisers showed up, they put every imaginable barrier up to them, closing their accounts arbitrarily and undermining thousands of small businesses.
Facebook did it.
They encouraged everyone to sign their friends up to follow them and then restricted people from accessing the very list of people who signed up to follow their Facebook pages.
