Amazon reportedly used a secret algorithm to jack up prices
- satiric 3y agoOh no! A secret algorithm?! I really don't mind that I don't know how Amazon's pricing system works. Even if it was public knowledge I doubt it could be adequately explained in a paragraph of a Verge article. I do mind if they're engaging in monopolistic practices (thankfully the Verge also talked about this).
