> How is pricing by available time to wait any more fair than pricing by available money to spend? Because its a lot easier to get someplace early on your day off than it is to suddenly get into another tax bracket. Even poor people usually get at least one day off every single week. Restricting access by income level is going to leave most people who don't earn enough locked out for their entire lives because upward economic mobility is declining in the EU and a total joke in the US. Certainly when it comes to travel there's already a high barrier and limitations on opportunity so a lottery might be better than only knowing if you'll get in on the day.

No? Those who earn less can save up money, it’s not like it will cost millions of dollars either. And money is a lot more fungible than time, so in literally the dictionary sense, it is just as fair or even better (assuming the pricing stays below say a monthly salary).

  You seriously think that other people should have to save up weeks of pay to go to the museum so that you don't have be to near people when you go?

    Did you just make up an argument with yourself? I don’t want to vacation to any tourist attraction anytime soon, let alone the places that are currently overcrowded. And if this is your own subconscious desire, it’s a bit bizarre to insert it this deep into a comment chain…

      That was the entire point of the comment thread you are replying to. Someone mentioned prices should be increased to reduce demand, and here we are.

        If that is your opinion then clearly the user could have responded to the actual parent comment that they believe contained such, higher up in the comment chain.

        I don't know why you are even arguing here. This is pointless. But either way, you responded to them first: https://imgur.com/a/Q7nFW8t https://imgur.com/a/Q7nFW8t Be better at this next time.

        Huh? Why post an allegedly ‘pointless’ imgur link? There’s no reason to click on it… Edit: If you have confused thoughts I don’t appreciate being dragged into it. Take it somewhere else.

        I'm sorry, are you having a hard time understanding how online conversations work? I wasn't involved in any of the above comments. I know from this interaction to never interact with you again if I can help it though. Have a great great day.

        I can’t make heads or tails out of this logic so I’ll just say it frankly: I didn’t choose to reach out and engage with you, ‘Tostino’, or ‘thfuran’, nor do I care about who ‘Tostino’ wants to interact with, relative ‘arguments’, etc…, because this user didn’t exist for me until 3 comments ago! There literally wasn’t enough time to care about this nonsense. So take it and leave already instead of doubling down.
