       Washington Post notifies subscribers their rates are set to increase, explaining the price rise“was set by an algorithm using your personal data.” https://washingtonian.com/2026/03/12/the-washington-post-is-using-reader-data-to-set-subscription-prices-how-does-that-work/

       @mattblaze @newsguyusa In fairness, casinos *do* charge based on user data, but usually in the other direction. The richest gamblers (or, rather, the ones who gamble the most money) get everything for free, rather than having their prices hikedAlso, there's a group of extremely wealthy people who meet once a month at the Four Seasons (admission to the group is based on liquid net worth) and their room rate is *much* lower than rack rateThe super rich are rarely victims of predatory pricing
