One possible factor is the fact that some people call it “convenience pricing”. That phrase is doing a lot of psychological work. If we called it something like “surveillance pricing” or “extractive pricing”, then maybe we would be closer to outrage.

    They’re not talking about surveillance pricing. They’re talking about selling one roll of toilet paper out of a package but for the same cost as the whole 12 pack. Surveillance pricing is using your individual behavior to change the price of the product for just you.
