I thought so at first too, but that doesn’t explain the steady price increases. Two algorithms competing against each other does.

- WaitWaitWha 4y agoThe article I referenced is old, so it is possible that Amzn (and the criminals) have evolved. It used to be randomly generated e-books, now it is a real book. Maybe Amzn checks to see if the uploaded material is legit, and rejects the old-style random text. By latching onto a real book, this becomes less of an issue. As for the pricing, I am guessing it is just a side effect of the normal behavior. It would make sense for the criminal to not change from default settings when setting up the account, ergo include it in these algos.
