Of course they do. But they still come across as polite, respectful, and oh so helpful, even to the most degenerate of degenerates. What lesson do we gleam from this?
Simple: know your customer. UNDERSTAND him (or her). Cater to them, give them what they want, HELP them - but never forget WHO they are. This knowledge will help you sell to them better, protect yourself better and help you (and your customers) stick around for years to come.

I am honestly a bit shocked at this reasoning. It seems quite bizarre to me that someone in business would have that attitude about their own customers.
And no... I do not believe that the Bellagio in Vegas is looking at all their guests and patrons as "degenerate gamblers". They are look at them as anyone in any hospitality business looks at them. Like they are gold. Like they are guests. Like they are people that expect to be treated well, respected, valued and they expect their stay and experience to be perfect.
It's definitely bizarre that you would think that if someone turns left on the strip, they are a 'degenerate'... if they turn right, they are just a normal, respectable person.
At this point, i am starting to believe that you have some major problems with your own choices in terms of what you do and you are projecting. People who join your sites are teachers, doctors, lawyers, hotel managers etc etc etc. It's quite odd to me that you fail to see that and have this need to insist otherwise... that anyone seeking to fulfill a basic human need, enhance their marital sex life or maybe just finds themselves alone and coming to you for a product, is somehow a "degenerate".
You are really misunderstanding what we are saying. We are talking about your attitude and beliefs towards your customers. Not where you pretend and act as if you feel otherwise on your sites.
One can ask a similar question of you, as you asked.. "what company grew to be a billion dollar company that viewed its customers as "degenerates". The answer is pretty obvious. It's not about who the customers are, its about the personalities, beliefs and convictions of those who are running the companies.
