Or not, in this case.
Of course not. And it's a very difficult business, but it's pretty disingenuous to be sending out ad solicitations when you might have to close in two weeks (or know you will close). Their ads are not inexpensive either (they're not bookbub expensive, but they aren't cheap either). I know at least one author who sold very well there. It will hurt authors like her the most because she won't be getting paid--and, like you said, it doesn't matter how much we authors sell if we can't make a profit!
