This is correct. I am currently working on a system to do price and purchase monitoring and optimize people’s purchasing. One of the things that I keep having to work around is dynamic real-time personalized pricing systems as they are more prevalent than I realized. It seems almost inevitable that everyone will move to subscription / surge pricing models unfortunately. There are no structural incentives for retailers to keep prices lower. Perhaps bulk purchasing will change the game at some point, but it seems unlikely.

Surge pricing also means doldrums pricing. The knife cuts both ways.

> personalized pricing systems as they are more prevalent than I realized. Can you share the worst offenders? I am sure everyone is curious to know. ETA: I wonder if this leads to an adversarial service, which lets you do "persona based straw buying" to get the lowest possible price.
