    Honestly the illegal cab company has been the most useful for me. Sometimes my car breaks down.

    Mind you, the best illegal service I ever used was Dream market. Very convenient for buying acid and weed.

      I agree. Set prices are a game changer especially if you are visiting in another country. Drivers are less likely to rip off tourists and communication is a lot better.

      years ago, a big boss of an evil hotel company I worked was doing a AMA and got asked “where do we draw the line on ethics?”. His answer was “at the end of the day, if you don’t feel comfortable telling your mother what you did today, then don’t do it” I loved this answer and used this very often.

      Then a few months later, he directly made us work on the dirtiest geopricing / yelding features I ever saw. I guess the real question to ask during that day was “where do your mother draw the line on ethics?”

          Thanks for asking. I found the idea to be an unethical dark pattern, so I made my point, but in companies like these, it’s not enough. So I implemented a light experiment of what was asked, and it validated my hypothesis: it was not solving a real need and was actually not even improving revenue, and that it was indeed leading to a poorer user experience. Since the request was really pushed top down, I still had to move on with so I limited it to the specific population where it would make more money. Who has the most money to spend in cheaper countries? US tourists going to Latin America. Let’s make it more expensive for Americans to stay in a Colombian hotel than for a local. It pleased the small hotel owners, had a positive impact on local tourism… good enough.

          Then I moved to a different team and they threw away my work went full on and delivered the whole shit.

    airbnb was cool, i have fond memories of meeting interesting new people this way. then it enshittified and is now generally worse than hotels every time.

    so there is no longer a marketplace where you can get the house sharing experience, which is sad.
