Whatever convenience offered by way of efficiency one got from the initial disruption of an industry quickly turns into a funnel, siphoning all the equity from that industry into the pockets of the "disruptor" and arguably, tangentially speaking, into the pockets of shareholders. After that, the price the consumer pays goes up. A toll must be paid to the disruptor for all that "efficiency" provided to the business, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ServiceTitan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServiceTitan</a> for home service companies, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RealPage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RealPage</a> for rentals, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Uber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Uber</a> for taxi service, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amazon</a> for retail, and it's not the business owner that's going to pay for it.

Chuck DarwinThe Department of Justice and eight states on Friday 💪🏽sued the maker of rent-setting software that ⚠️critics blame for sending rents soaring in apartment buildings across the country.The civil lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Greensboro, North Carolina, accuses Texas tech company ❌RealPage of taking part in an <a href="https://c.im/tags/illegal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#illegal</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/price" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#price</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/fixing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fixing</a> scheme to reduce competition among landlords so they can 🔹boost prices — and profits.

Since then, senators have introduced legislation seeking to ban such practices, tenants have filed dozens of ongoing federal lawsuits, and San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors moved to bar landlords from using similar algorithms to set rents.<a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/realpage-lawsuit-doj-antitrustdoj-files-antitrust-suit-against-maker-of-rent-setting-algorithm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.propublica.org/article/realpage-lawsuit-doj-antitrustdoj-files-antitrust-suit-against-maker-of-rent-setting-algorithm</a>
