True, but if the user is discouraged by the responsiveness they perceive then they won't come back or won't be back as often. Additionally, from a providers perspective, I presume that some form of 'advertising' is the motivation. The more information which can be presented to a user per unit of time the user is willing to spend, the greater the chance that the user will react to some piece of information as desired by the provider.
