VPN, adblock, do-not-track and a bowser that has tracking disabled. I do it all.

Exactly.That is why is useful to learn about stuff and the real value in how it is made and how it is marketed. When you know the actual market value of something you don't go blind and pay the first price you are shown.

actually there's a point at which it's what the vendor is willing to part with, (and stay in business). It's not a one-way street. It sounds like you're making apologies for vendor price hikes, when its equally morally valid to let consumers know they can search and get lower prices. You seem to be stepping back to get a better perspective, but not stepping back far enough!

it's still super dirty that the price tag changes from customer to customer for the same item 😕

That is so true I mean who determines how much a brand new iphone should be worth right at the end of the day price is sentimental

chubberone - I’ve had the same thing happen multiple times.

things that gather personal data on you also advertise stuff to you from people nearby

Probably should look at Edward Snowden’s vids. As a developer, he’s right.

In most instances this is actually inverse of what actually happened. Certain color's, shapes, words and so on can trigger you to think about certain things. For example if I ask you to spell "fork" then ask what you eat your cereal with, there's a strong chance you will tell me fork. It's similar to saying spell "slop" what do you do at a green light? people usually say "stop" when you actually hit the gas, not the brake at a green light lol. At some point in the day it's more likely that you were thinking about something from earlier in the day.. deja vu isn't just a strip club ya know. Because I have tried, repeatedly to get conversations I have had to lead to 1 single add and not once has it happened. And I mean I am surrounded by things with mic's like crazy. Multiple phones, echo's and google home. Just never once have I been able to pull an obscure topic out of thin air and have it magically result in an add for it. I mean sure if I wanna dumb what I say down I may likely find something kinda sorta close but not really. Like I could say the word "movies" maybe 1.5k times and then theres an add for a movie that just got released in a thetre that same day but the add wouldnt have came up because I said movie, it would have came up because it was release day. But even that, hasn't actually happened to me... im just sure its possible to have that kinda coincidence.

How about thoughts??? Seriously !!!

ingocnito wont change much, the difference they got was rng, you ip is still very very visible to the website, and you isp can see what your doing, incognito is only good for stopping chrome from saving it to your personal history, everyone else looking from the outside will still see what your looking at, you just dont have to delete your history.

I recall booking a ticket at a travel agency in September 2012 Traveling to LACA, to visit friends, then to NYC to visit my daughter, then to London, then to Tel Aviv - Istanbul, Tehran then back to Sydney (via Dubai) The price quoted by the travel agency per night at the Hilton in TelAviv ($800 AU/CN) I said no thank you. When I arrived in TelAviv the price was $400 per night. A fancy suite on the 5th floor that I eventually paid $240 a night, being the nice Jewish boy that I am.

They tracked your digital footprint and discovered that you are not a loyal customer. Therefore, punished you by raising the price of the listing which you returned back on after browsing on their competition.

almost every country around the world has privacy laws and most of them get you to disclose potential privacy concerns one way or another. if you are in dought about any privacy concerns read their privacy policy and it will usually explain it. companies don't have to have one by law and I doesn't mean they follow it to the letter but if they don't and someone finds out it could mean big trouble from loss of business and in some cases law related problems. this video was talking about cookies though which is a bit different, they are used as a way for sites to remember things about you and don't need to be sold. they are on your computer and are designed to be handed back to websites they give them out.

There is no set "price" for a room in hospitality, everyone in the industry knows that. There's dozens of possible prices for a single specific hotel room, in any given night. All those "lowest" price guarantees aren't guarantees at all if you read the fine print. No one every reads the fine print. You get a "room" for 50% off, then your probably not going to get what's shown in the picture because you wont read the fine print.

Exactly. I've worked at multiple major retail chains. You don't see it, but most if not all do a mass price change at least once a week, and will continue to change prices on items here and there every day, and those prices aren't always the same store to store.

Not at the same type of corporate owned store they won't. Franchises and independent shops can do whatever they want, but corporate stores keep the same prices consistent across the country.

WRONG 100 percent wrong. I can tell you, the prices out west are way higher, at the same stores than they are east. Please, do your research, or live a life, before you start spewing information you haven't confirmed or researched.

Couldn't resist not to comment. There are two stores, same corporation/brand, both 5 minutes distance from my home. 3 out of 10 items I regularly buy have different prices.

Prices are generally higher in high income areas because the stores know the people who live there can afford it. Is it fair? Probably not. But that's usually how business works. They do it because they can. You can always choose not to buy your food there. Prices will not be sky high if the competition can offer the same product cheaper. It forces competitors to do the same. It's why for example base products such as milk costs pretty much the same everywhere. At least it does in my country.

@@madman2u Wrong, Dumdum. Prices in middle-to-affluent residential areas are LOWER than in low-income areas. Why? - Market Segmentation. -- the well-off have Options the impoverished do not enjoy. Most notably, personal vehicles: they can just drive elsewhere to find more desirable prices at the competition, whereas poor folk are usually stuck in their own neighbourhood. Retailers are aware of this and therefore raise prices of essential items in low-income communities. -- the more disposable income one has, the more one buys. Just as a wealthy person is offered more credit at attractive interest rates than a lower-income person qualifies for, Retailers chase affluent consumers' business and therefore continually offer them the best deals. Is it fair? of course not. But as you wrote, "They do it because they can". That is how business works.

laws need to catch up on a lot of things to do with the internet

There already is a law for this, supply and demand.

We have so many laws all many,

As a programmer I'm confident that lawmakers would make a thousand times bigger chaos if they tried to control the internet and technology. They simply can't monitor every single website's code and what it does. It cannot be done. On the other hand they would introduce laws that would prevent the natural competition in the industry and would slow economic growth. A better idea in my opinion would be for tech blogs and tech journalist to draw attention to this problem and the customers then can choose to force the company of changing by not using their sites. I think the only way of controlling the internet is simply transparency and being a conscious user. Laws only make a mess of technology.

There is nothing wrong with this really. If you don't like the price - get it somewhere else. In fact people AGREE to buy something at that price. That's it. Is it illegal for stuff to be more expensive in one physical store than in another of the same franchise? Because it's exactly the same thing. People have different purchasing power in different places. There are also different costs associated with serving customers in different places. If it can be done in any better way - a company would appear and prosper offering the lowest prices overall. But there isn't. Because such a company wouldn't survive. You get lower prices JUST BECAUSE somebody agrees to pay a higher price. You all think you're getting the best deal, and the FACT is that if there was any other convenient way to get a lower price, people would do it. Simply compare the prices. Hotels - compare Booking (I had horrible experience with them, will never ever book from them again, but I use them for browsing and reading reviews), Expedia, finding hotel information on Google Maps like their website or phone number, going to the website and seeing other booking methods, calling them to ask for a cheaper price if available, etc. This way I got to book stuff at HALF the price compared to booking sites, and dealing directly with the hotel means handling all troubles directly, and not through impotent useless third party "customer service" that only takes your time, and the most power they have is say "sorry".

yes, that can happen, let's face it apple products are rather expensive and a shop would consider you a little richer than someone who doesn't. websites also have access to your device model for compatibility reasons.

Yeah apparently when you called to book a hotel using it they would quote higher prices than when you called via say your landline

Time to bring out the old blackberry then I guess

Well yea, they know apple owners are mindless purchasers that aren't looking for a good deal to begin with.

because apple users like paying more, it makes them feel elite. I would like to put my iPhone under my truck tire.

That is supply and demand. It's cheaper for the US to import products and sell products. Their warehouses are larger with more volume moved. That way they can sell things for cheaper. Canada consistently is more than just the exchange rate. We also often pay more import taxes than the US.

Also, when you are signed into Google and you're on KZfaq, Amazon and Chrome ... you are going to be moved around from device to device ... what I watch on KZfaq on my phone is server-side on my google account. And, even if it's another vendor (youtube & google = same) they still share this info through licensing deals. The largest, Amazon, Google, and any of your favorite online retailers are all sharing information. Your information. It's mostly meta data and retail merchandise inquires they're selling/trading, but someone more interested in the personal data for malicious reasons is what we rightfully fear. So, go ahead and turn off your cookies, that's only one out of hundreds of ways the market is tracking your meta data.

Disabling cookies means a lot of websites will not load.

I hear ya. In Amazon's case, those price changes can be a result of many different suppliers. It's not as though they manufacture each item.

Nobody is going to buy a popular and easily available item priced six times over what is available at retail just because Amazon in Canada pretends it has 'limited stock'.

So you are ok to pay 120 dollars instead of 60 dollars for cam. And it is ok for you. It won't bother you pay extra 60 bucks just because there is more demand or it is overstock or because they track your purchase habits and they only make you pay 120 while I can buy it to cheaper?

@@tamilyatamilya No silly. You won't be able to find it for 60 when it's 120. That's the point. The price is 120 everywhere.

KMike68Camaro wow that's crazy

it was either a random chance or it came from something else, a website cannot access your photos. I am studying web development atm and know web programming languages and websites can't just access local files on your device. they can send a request to a browser to upload a file which will bring up a dialogue box to select a file but they can't just take it. one way it could happen is if you google searched for a lawnmower or that one specifically, Google handles a lot of ads on websites and they use the information you give them to help with that. or it was just a completely random chance.

NiteOwl I was more worried about when I was talking about the lawnmower while I was taking the pic but I did leave that out of my comment

I don't think so, there are a lot of security in place for accessing different things on mobile phones and tablets. websites can access other things on the device like microphones but almost all the big named browsers require them to get permission. I could be wrong though but I am certain that's how it is.

Strange indeed. Did you upload the lawnmower photo?

actually the modern definition of "discrimination" is more sensationalist than it should be, because of hints of "racial discrimination". In English for hundreds of years, the word "discrimination" had positive connotations because it meant carefully looking at things. You're being critical of this video, but maybe you should be looking harder at human nature instead, and perhaps checking dictionary definition of "discrimination".

​@@squirlmy Sure, I'm gonna look up the possible different definitions for every word instead of just relying on the meaning that's obviously intended. They used the word *because* of it's negative connotation - otherwise it wouldn't be paired with "exposing" - and the attention that generates, hence sensationalist. But thanks for the r/iamverysmart.

all ready to go with that answer too

BigBwoyTing XD She completely avoided every question.

You're referring to the Amazon Marketplace for third-party sellers, but Amazon sells items as a first-party as well.

mkzone13 Amazon Kindle and Echo Dot are the only things that Amazon sell as a first party. 99.9999% of the items you brought from Amazon are from other people. Amazon have FBA program.

Anh Nguyen I understand that many items are sold through the FBA program, but many items are sold with Amazon as the listed seller.

As this video was about "price discrimination in online shopping". Right? So can you tells me why the price jumped from $80 to $100. If you knows economics 101, when the demand are high then the price will rise. Same as Uber Price Surge, or how car dealerships rises the price of a cars when there is a 0% financing during the holidays. The bigger problem with this test was that they did not check what rooms or types of car they are looking at. If you ever booked a hotel online, you would understand what I am talking about. Different rooms in a hotel will cost you more or less. Different car makers, types of vehicles, years, etc can cost you more or less. And to the people said there should be a "laws". This is not illegal, just look at car dealerships. When one person can buy the same exact car as you, but pay much less than you. This is business.

I agree - this is a poor example of how this works. Company's like Amazon use may more advanced techniques then use incognito and see if that the site shows you a good price. Site's with millions and millions of traffic by the time you load the page again what's to even say that you even have the same room if we use a hotel as an example.Also, a perfect example of this would be an Airline website you'll get different prices by the time you check you might even be able to get on that flight anymore. I love how she said how does anyone know if you're getting a good deal... why not just go to the Hotel website or the webcam's website and see the actual price GG(Good Game). Oh yeah and here's the kicker if you bought anything on Amazon you would know that if you add something to your watchlist they even tell you when it's at a lower price. This is all terrible information.

Any unecessary crap, said on said from a computer on youtube.

Dopamine Serotonin u don't need to buy stuff to have fun

C Robinson amazon notifies you when items in your cart/bag increase or decrease in price, sites like Amazon and eBay don’t give the seller the ability to give a different price to certain customers. The decrease in price was most likely to meet the supply and demand equilibrium or the seller changing the price for whatever reason. Items change in price regularly.

thats not the scenario the video is talking about. What youre describing is the price changing over time which is normal. They arent talking about whether the prices is going up or down over time they are comparing the price from one computer to another at the exact same time.

I actually have kept items in my Amazon cart for years, and it's just as likely to go up as down, and even more likely to go up or down for a just few cents. You're on the wrong track here. Also check prices months before Christmas and afterwards. Huge numbers of item prices go up as Christmas approaches.
