0:49Now PlayingStephanie Koff and Greg Olear peel back the curtain on how modern algorithms are exploiting both gig workers and everyday shoppers. From the calculated cruelty of surveillance wages designed to keep pay as low as possible, to dynamic pricing models that hike costs the moment a shopper becomes emotionally attached to an item, the mechanics of these systems are far more predatory than they appear. This discussion exposes the quiet ways tech giants and retailers track behavior to maximize profits at the expense of consumer fairness.
