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?
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.
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.
So, first of all:
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.
