Consumer Advocate's New Book Exposes How Corporations Use Algorithms to Overcharge You

Consumer advocate Lindsay Owen has authored a new book titled Gouged, examining how corporations financially exploit customers through technology. The book investigates how businesses deploy software tools, including dynamic pricing systems and opaque algorithms, to maximize the amount of money extracted from consumers. Owen's work highlights the growing role of automated pricing mechanisms that constantly shift to capture the highest possible payment from each buyer. The book serves as both an exposé and a guide for consumers seeking to understand and push back against these data-driven pricing practices.
