Dynamic Pricing Stinketh


This is repulsive.

I don't like it. It changes the shopping game. It lives on my personal data that corps can harvest. Egh.

So, what do we do? Give up and accommodate, then embrace this new dynamic pricing travesty or push back. Choose something else.

Push back, of course. Maybe we don't win, or we don't win everywhere. But this matters to me and you.

Starve the flow of my data:

  • Support legislation against data harvesting
  • Use cash
  • Don't carry your phone
  • Shop in person
  • Compare prices over time, in different ways

Take our pennies to honest sellers:

  • Where humans set prices
  • Where prices aren't dynamic
  • Where I'm treated the same as the next guy
  • Where reward cards aren't pushed. And if they are, don't use them.

Any other ideas?
