Certainly some would say yes. But I don't really think so. A year ago I 
was using their low end product and gladly paying them a bit of money to 
do so. Now I use their lower-end non-product but do so for free. I get 
less and they get nothing.

And worse, whereas last year my brand loyalty to RH was growing every 
day. Now it is diminishing every day as reasons to stick with them seem 
fewer and less compelling.

Just my view of the world ...
