Why would anyone ever try to market to that? Would be like trying to sell steak knives to bird seed except the bird seed burns through your bandwidth..

You're right. The reality is maybe 99.999% from a given traffic source are like that but there is still 0.001% who might buy with a knock-your-socks off type deal for the right product. Some things are out for sure. Other things might not be entirely.
For instance let's say I found a way to grab 10,000 general visitors from Reddit. It would be suicide to send these visitors to some general porn paysite. They'll probably laugh at me about "paying for porn", DDoS my site, track me down and string me up by my balls from the flagpole out front and then put the photo of it on Reddit. But if I tried to monetize them by sending them to myfreecams maybe if I'm lucky I'll get a join or two.
And there is always some sucker who will pay for that kind of traffic. At least for a while. We call them ad or traffic brokers.
Or depending on the site maybe they have use in some other way such as helping to attract better users who will pay for what I am marketing.
