So, first of all:

One key issue is “seat spinning,” where bots initiate the booking process but do not complete payment - by hoarding inventory temporarily, they reduce availability and may create a false perception of scarcity, which can influence pricing algorithms.

Pretty sure any "reputable" flight company is already doing that. I am not sure any consumer can really get clear evidence though. They don't need bots for this, they just tell their booking portal to lie.

Moving on:

In some cases, bots resell the tickets they secure through “ticket scalping,” pushing genuine customers toward inflated prices or unavailable flights.

Reselling means people book flights via what, eBay? Is there a market for reselling flight tickets? Depending on the country involved, destination and so on these bookings require you to leave a name or even passport details.

I've stopped reading after this paragraph. Is this just an AI written article of made up issues?

OK. I cannot decipher from those 3 pixels how cheap those tickets allegedly are.

Congrats, dumbest take you could have on this.

fw?

Interesting choice to give them boobs. Not that the average reader cares that its only female mosquitoes that bite.

It's fine to ask for money. Here I think it is just not clear why this would warrant a subscription model.

Yeah, not sure how that is confusing.

Fuck yes, Descent 2 was even better, with your small helper robot and even more cool weapons/rockets.

Is there any server component to it, other than serving updates? That would justify a subscription model, but I also cannot see any need for it for something like this.

Are you on your phone while shitting?

Not sure on older Android versions but newer ones would show a small dot for the notification overflow.

Not super excited for this show, but I will still give it a chance!

And I hate to even use these terms, but I said, ‘Those are her nipples.’

Roflmao, gods forbid using the term nipples! How'd you even know such dirty words, Carson, you sly dog!

Jeez, someone didn't have their second breakfast yet.

So, hilariously, if you never had connected them, you'd still retain the offline features, since they couldn't push that update on you?

Although I assume they push you hard to connect them at first use.

The fuck is that background. Biblically correct tweet background?

Sorry, that is all the pixels this gives:

Well, now you are off the hook for building a full civilisation in outer space from scratch! Win win!

Proton themselves pointed this out already but I think people didn't trust them because they interpreted it that Proton wants to move servers to countries with lower privacy standards, which is not true.
