This article is thinly-veiled activism disguised as factual claims, and it is a bit sad how far Cory has gone in this direction. Notice, if you will, that there is no evidence provided that any of his claims about pricing are true at all, and in this very thread people are saying that in their experience they are not.
Amazon still has mostly lower prices than other retailers. Uber is still cheaper than cabs. Whether those prices are sustainable or not is a different issue, but simply claiming that they are actually _higher_ without providing any evidence other than "I saw a $55 Uber fare once" is not responsible writing.
I want to believe Cory is just devoted to the cause of protecting people from unchecked Big Tech power (which is a legitimate cause I do not oppose) and he is letting his confirmation bias get the best of him.
