The truth is no one except those inside the companies determining pricing really knows. And it can change at anytime if they find some new price discrimination data point to exploit. In the video they say it basically comes down to a desperation score.

My guess/sense at this moment is that it’s slightly better as the type of person willing to learn and explore the privacy options and settings and have a little extra income to put towards them will be aware of shopping alternatives and therefore have a lower desperation score

    Yea it was a brand new account so maybe existing ones are grandfathered in. Also was using a VPN/linux so maybe it flagged me as heightened risk 🤷🏼‍♀️ Went through adding randomish details and had to go back through and put in the right stuff instead haha

    Those are the average highs. It can peak well above that for a given week.

    I live in northern US and have the opposite phenomenon. Average low in coldest month is 12F but we usually have about a week below 0F
