You are trying to resolve whether to call them rubes or suckers?

Yep. Hard to tell from a pure capitalist point of view. I'm firmly in the "suckers" camp.

I don't think greed is necessary. I'd argue markets exist to cater to human wants and needs. If someone is using an inherently fucky system (as all non-voluntary systems are to some extent) to find happiness, then it's working at least a little.
