There’s more than one article about this?!
At least this one actually calls out the fact that this is a nothing story.

Lots of vendors set their prices algorithmically… So like when competitors raise their prices or demand seems high for some reason or something, the price will auto-adjust to theoretically maximize profits. The algorithms are often pretty dumb.
So sometimes when you see something like this, you’re witnessing a dynamic pricing algorithm spiraling out of control because it wasn’t implemented very well, and nobody’s paying attention.
I was wondering that too. Not arguing or denying, just not sure what they’re referring to.
Once you figure out the iframes it’s actually pretty easy.
Okay maybe OR-- and just hear me out here-- Maybe the problem is not enough money in politics?
Whoa do “percent” and “percentage points” actually refer to different things?
Yo I just saw a real estate listing on one of the islands near Vancouver Island for one of these. If it wasn’t a million dollars and isolated from pretty much everything, I would definitely be tempted!
Taskmistress** thank you very much 💅
It’s like the difference between wandering over to your local coffee shop, vs. popping in.
Yeah I know what you mean. Thanks for the extra context that you were able to glean though.
OONI monitors internet censorship and other forms of network interference, especially by state actors, worldwide. It’s an important contributor to digital rights and freedoms IMO, and you can run their client in the background to contribute non-personal data on pretty much any device.
What were you able to find out about the cases? 👀
PSA: Inkscape is good now!
No, no, you’re thinking of a manifold. A manosphere is an orb that keeps track of how much spellcasting energy you have left, next to your healthsphere.
When they send over these time travelers, they’re not sending their best…
Lol why is Aqua Net hairspray specifically the thing that takes them down? Like other brands of hairspray don’t work? Spray paint or Elmer’s glue or maple syrup aren’t effective? You can’t just throw a bedsheet over them or hit them with a crowbar?
Also MMA doesn’t have anything to do with being staged.
It’s an algorithm that records its progress and any errors to a text file.
Oh interesting-- Yeah gaming the recommendation/search algorithms is another, related explanation. Like I know someone with an Etsy store who says that various things, like running out of stock or putting your store in “vacation mode” will hurt your store’s visibility, so people find ways to game it. Totally makes sense that the same kind of thing would be going on on Amazon.
Weird that they’d allocate ad spend at the same time that they were out of stock, but like I said, the algorithms are pretty coarse and probably just not that coordinated.
