I highlighted it because of Bing Cashback, which is exactly the sort of money-losing stunt that dot-com businesses pulled at the height of the boom to gain market share.
Microsoft, at least, has the cash that they can afford to blow a few hundred million for nothing, and the smarts to discontinue the program when it's obvious it doesn't work.
