So cool how innovative tech has been used to…implement surveillance pricing, algorithm-based subscription pricing, and digital price labels for physical products.
Tech companies love to disrupt, and, well, I’m sure feeling disrupted.
Guess the AI auto reply said the quiet part out loud.
I feel like this is pretty well known that every major airline tracks browser cookies to jack up prices if you’ve been searching for flights.
Airlines and hotels have been doing this for almost 20 years. Are there seriously still people that don’t know that this is standard?
Why would they not? Isn’t this ideal perfect price discrimination? That the whole point of a company.
How you view that probably depends on your opinion of Adam Smith, but it seems hard to fault a profit generating enterprise for being a profit generating enterprise.
Even if dynamic pricing isn’t new the concern here is how far it’s being pushed when it gets tied to personal data signals
Same as walmart and new electronic price tags
I dunno i test this with my work comp on VPN and home network macbook pro
Always the same price and my work comp VPN says Im in kansas while I am sitting in philly
Accusations of using surveillance pricing? Bold of them to call it surveillance’ instead of we’ve been charging you more because we know you really need to get home for thanksgiving
Just throw the algorithms off. Start googling pay day loans and how to declare bankruptcy and just see how much money you can save.
So much for flying. I can’t trust JetScrew, Delta, or Southwest any more. Guess I’m now captive to Trump’s gas price gouge war unless I can take Amtrak to one of its 5 or so cities it serves.
This should be illegal!
Dynamic pricing only works because the info is one way. Companies see all your data and can price based on ability/willingness to pay. The way to combat this is for customers to pool their pricing data so they know when they are being algorithmically priced and then call out the companies. I know self promo is frowned upon but I’m currently building something in this space fwiw.
