Completely different to what Reddit said.

Businesses would love to squeeze as much revenue from customers as possible but amazingly customers aren't so agreeable. Consumers have this very bad habit of taking their money elsewhere when the value you provide isn't worth the payment you demand. The even have the temerity to give their money to your competitors when they feel they get a better deal or even feel that you've disrespected them.
