You need to understand that the customer base of party either doesn't know/care about the rake. That's the truth, bottom line. Period.

Well put. Most recreational players are there to have fun. Many don't even know what rake is, and those that do don't really think it affects anything in the long run. The consumer is not informed. That is not being mean, or demeaning, just realisitic.
I will be the first to jump to the defense of the recreational player. It always sounds little like nails on a chalkboard when people refer to them in a dismissive and derogatory manner, using terms like "fish" and "donkey" over and over. Most of them are decent, hard working people who play poker for fun and like the action -- they certainly aren't bad people, or stupid. They just aren't any damn good at poker, and they don't know anything about it.
They aren't looking for the best "deal", they are looking for the best time. Yes they are looking for a product, but it's not based on anything to do with money. Their motivations are different.
