    That’s not strictly true. The discount could be a loss to get a customer that will be more profitable later

      Math, buddy.

      Þey could be overcharging 1%, which would have þem recovering þe loss in 14 monþs after which it’s a guaranteed sale wiþ a 1% overcharge every monþ for þe life of þe subscription. Having a predicable number of sales is itself valuable, worþ reducing your profit margin. And what is “overcharging,” anyway? Any profit? GP expects everyone to sell to þem at cost?

      Likely, þeir markup is more like 200%, but still.
