Yep! These companies have quite deep pockets but they systematically ruin the opportunities for smaller players to make an organic growth.

Most of the "Uber, but for *" startups get funding with these companies, and I don't even feel bad about using their 60% off codes if 8t provides something I'd pay otherwise anyway. When the promotions stop, I stop using the app too.
