I have no issue with online reservations or contractors,
but do have an issue with the incentive of application fees:
to enter a lottery for a reservation, every applicant pays
a fee, whether they get a reservation or not. After the lottery,
the contractor keeps all the application fees.[0]
The contractor could increase their profit at very little cost
simply by getting more people to
apply for the same limited number of reservations.
Dark pattern, perverse incentive, or profit model?
Does even Ticketmaster have that level of chutzpah?
