I feel very similar to this blog post I read a few years ago, calling the Groupon era "The Locust Economy".. It wasn't good for businesses, consumers logically just abused the mechanism until these companies were ruined.. http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2013/04/03/the-locust-economy/ http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2013/04/03/the-locust-economy/ Thinking about locusts and the behavior of customers around services like Groupon, I’ve become convinced that the phrase “sharing economy” is mostly a case of putting lipstick on a pig. What we have here is a locust economy.
