Why do people use something this bad?

Jakob Nielsen's view on why people use the Web even though 9 out of 10 sites are harder to use than they need to be:
  • People gravitate toward the easier to use sites, ignoring the harder-to-use ones
  • They do not know how good it could be
  • Sometimes they hit a good service that is better than anything off-Web
  • They are continually looking for another good site
