[Reader-users] i dont get it

But also those who criticize must have realistic expectations.
Frankly, no one has ever gotten something for nothing since the dawn of
time whether they were impecunious or not and it isn't going to start
now. Braying and braying and braying about it won't make any difference.
KNFB Reading Technologies probably is making about the best offer it
thinks it can. This is dependent not upon how much money its clients
have but on what it can afford. If it prices itself out of the market,
it will soon find out. However, methinks this won't happen.
Could we please get on to something more productive?
Thanks.

It's a ridiculous statement, but not unprecedented though.
It's very much like, take it or leave it.
May be worse, "put up or shut up."
those doing business and those who speak for them must listen to the
criticism, that is packaged with money making.
