it's called discriminatory pricing and it's supposed to be illegal

Actually, personalized pricing isnt the same as illegal price discrimination - it's legal as long as it doesn't discriminate based on protected characteristics like race or gender.

So is price gouging and price fixing.. But post covid both became main stream.
