It isn't a marketing scheme. It's a monetization scheme.

(Marketing is presenting products for sale. Monetization is finding ways to extract revenue from previously non-revenue-generating activity.)

(And no, the Internet doesn't run on marketing or monetization. A few of your favorite Internet services probably do, though; but probably not all.)

I accept the correction.

I have another quirk: I dislike being monetized.
