Normally people spam you message with the hope of getting you to read and then buy his product. What incentive that these people spamming the network knowing that they are losing money?

It's just the same - they hope that the increased exposure will gain them enough profitable business to exceed the costs incurred in miner fees. (Email spam has a cost to send as well - time spent composing the mail, bandwidth fees, server maintenance, etc.)
