The reason sites can get away with increasing the rake is that it's hard to notice.

I agree.
I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and was playing in a NL game at Bally's. About an hour into the session, the dealer pulled the lever back to drop the rake and it sprang back and shot one of the chips across the table. He retrieved the chip and properly dropped it. The guy sitting to my left (who was obviously new to live play) asked me why the dealer was dropping the chips into the table. I told him it was the rake, and ending up having to explain to him why they take it, how much etc....
If a guy can sit at a live table for an hour and not notice the dealer raking the pot until a chip shoots across the table, there is no chance he would have any idea that online pots are being raked, let alone how much they are taking.
