The text right at the top of the page, "Resellers aren’t the problem — their buying bots are", is some of the densest bullshit I have ever read. How can someone be so colossally stupid as to write and publish that line? Acting like the blame is with the people who write the scalping tools but not those who purchase and use them? Are you serious with this crap? Every single person in this chain of value-free market manipulation is culpable.
