The myth of PS rakeback

[luckychancer]

So many on this forum appear to have a very strong and vested interest in pushing Pokerstars and putting down any and all competition. Especially FTP since it's the closest rival.
Is anyone else sick of hearing PS shills drone on about about PS actually having 30%+ RB?
It seems to me that PS employs several people to post on this forum in any way they can to push PS and criticise other sites.
Just to illustrate my point...

If an average person were to play 10k hands a month at PS how much RB would they get and how long would it take them to get it?
The preceeding question will no doubt be drowned out and left unanswered by the PS shills flaming the hell out of me for bringing this up in the 1st place.

OMG I'm so happy now! I woke up this morning thinking to myself that it's been at least a couple of days since we've had a PS vs FT RB thread...PLEASE let this be the day we have another one. Low and behold, my wish has been answered!

As to your comparison question, I'll go out on a limb and suggest it's likely been answered numerous times in the endless parade of threads on this tired subject. And in those threads, people might have actually been specific about things like the game & limits they play!

I've never understood the endless fascination with this subject. Do people really find a 5 or 10% difference in RB actually sways their decision in favour of one site or the other? Are people's preferences in software, customer service, quality of players, etc, etc not worth more than that?

The myth is that other major sites return more to their players. Stars has one of the lowest rake structures. The FPP/VIP program costs us multiple million dollars every month. We have a great relationship with our customers and I believe this is the reason they defend us when someone posts something they believe to be untrue.

I also whole-heartedly agree with this comment...

"For me FTP rakeback in a myth. I get 0% rakeback on FTP because I signed up directly through them shortly after they opened."

I get benefits at stars and not at Full Tilt for this reason.

Could you elaborate a bit on this?
According to the stars homepage it is 5% with a 3$ cap, like every other site.

But the other sites got rakeback and bonus programs...
