A massage therapist relies heavily on Groupon for clients but earns only $25 per hour-long massage after Groupon's cut, which is physically and financially unsustainable.

Groupon attracts low-value clients who don't return at full price, taking a large cut that leaves minimal profit per service, creating dependency without building a sustainable client base.
