Probably, but remember that if you're maximizing profit then one $100 margin customer is as important as 1000 $0.10 margin customers.

Not to mention margin decreases linearly not as a percentage. So those 1000 $0.10 margin customers can easily turn into -$0.50 margin customers.

The 1000 low-margin customers also come with the added benefit of diversification.
