    Booking is also pretty scummy. There was a blog post a few years ago from a hotel that always showed up as sold out, even it had plenty empty rooms. In the end it was a “feature” where other hotels could “promote” their business in a city so it would show up first, but the competition would also be listed as unavailable to force visitors into the promoted business. The other thing is that booking will show “only one room left” to pressure you into booking right now, but what ot actually means is that a hotel might only allocate 20 of 100 rooms to booking, and still has 81 free rooms if you call them directly.














  • I don’t think any penalties would be necessary, if all Publishers, big websites and popular influencers would simply stop automatically pushing their news to twitter. In most cases this is just an integration someone put in 5 years ago that notifies twitter about new blog articles, and everyone forgot that ot still exist.

    This way the value for platform users would decrease, and with it the advertising revenue Twitter could expect from companies.
