I heard that a certain ride-hailing platform has an interesting algorithmic logic—once the user's phone battery drops below 5%, the platform automatically increases the fare by 15%. Thinking about the operational reasoning behind this is quite worth pondering. Is this kind of dynamic pricing mechanism based on user status a common industry practice, or is it a unique innovation by a particular platform? When user choices become increasingly limited, how does the platform balance between revenue and reputation?

Damn, this move is too ruthless. Raising prices when the battery is at 5%? They really know that people have no choice when they're in a hurry.

This move is really ruthless. Charging 15% more when the battery is at 5%? Isn't this just taking advantage of your urgency to cut a deal? Feels a bit too harsh.

Isn't this taking advantage of others? Running out of battery and still getting ripped off, that's really ruthless.

What is this? Taking a big cut when you're in a hurry? That's too shady.

Oh man, this trick is so ruthless. No wonder it’s so expensive to take a taxi when the battery is dead.

That's really shady. When the battery is low, they increase the price. It's almost like they're directly writing "If you're in a hurry, I'll overcharge you."

Damn, isn't this just blatant money-grabbing? My phone's out of battery and I still have to get scammed.
