What is usually omitted from these conversations is the role of the customer. Satisfying customer demand to get their dollars is what drives successful firms. Amazon has a pathological obsession with delighting customers. Some of Hubski's most ardent Amazon critics are also Amazon Prime members. This is he-hits-me-because-he-loves me logic.

As someone said of the Somali piracy crisis, you get more of what you pay for. A dollar is a vote that counts.
