Yeah, this is just growing pains for any website. Get popular enough for it to be "fun" to target. Then get enough data that it's "profitable" to target. Etc. And the usual way to deal is to first use an external solution at least until it becomes too expensive due to traffic volume. Then make your own solutions for problems you can solve yourself and pay external companies for the ones you can't.
