The Reason Your Flight Costs So Much: Big Data

[Lobos]

LoL, Trump is not in office to help "none elite" people.

Don’t hold your breath for this admin to do any of those.

I'm sorry, but asking Trump for justice is like asking a donkey to sing in the Vienna Boy's Choir.

Sneaky way for companies to funnel money to executives and shareholders, the rich getting richer. Profits are not shared as much with customers for lower prices.

I remember reading an article many years back saying that some airlines and booking sites would show higher fares when searching for flights on iPhones. The same searches when performed on a Windows PC or Android phone would show lower fares for the same flights.

Keep it up man. It might seem hopeless now with the current admin but people like this need to keep us informed and keep fighting for changes. The more of us that speak up the harder we are to ignore.

Great video. Ignore the trolls leaving doomer comments. We save us from this capitalist fashie nightmare. Keep calling your electeds in congress and don't let up. We outnumber them. Make them afraid to lose their jobs. Make them afraid of the consequences of complicity.

Deregulation is only good for the richest person in the room who can afford to undercut their competition until they go under or become a cartel and gouge customers.

Amazon was caught experimenting with individualized pricing back in the '90s. They showed loyal customers higher prices than new customers.

Word deregulation needs to be replaced with f*cked by companies. The sentences still work the same!
Has deregulation even once lowered prices or improved service or quality ever? Even once?

bring back regulation and protect consumers. Also, you get charged more if you're using an Apple device

Anytime something gets deregulated, regular people suffer and boards of trustees thrive

Always use a private window when shopping for travel. It sounds like i need it for everything.

[sharongallagher]

With the Consumer Protection Bureau now dismantled there are no federal watchdogs to protect us from predatory companies.

I believe we should own our own data. If it is sold, that it should be sold by ourselves.

[Decentralized_Maze]

OMG.... This is unsettling to learn and yet helpful. Thank you for the video!

[wdmm]

I have read about different customers having different prices for items online. Talk about BS. Hint. It's harder for them to do this in a physical store.

[moibe]

They used big data even before ai. We must fight against abusive politics and abusive airlines, but not blame ai. It is just a tool, like databases, like internet. That we the people can also use to fight back.

CNC Headline “Consumer financial watchdog is ordered by acting director to stop fighting financial abuse”. Good luck with Trump helping.

Long....congress should have passed data protection laws 20 years ago. Yet here we are
