Lately, scalping has become one of the biggest issues because of the ps5 and chip shortage. But the issue of scalping have been around forever and the same arguments are always made. Argument 1 : It’s capitalism, deal with it. Argument 2: It’s not fair that we have to pay three to five times more. Argument 3: If you really want the item, then pay more for it. etc. etc. etc.

However, this topic is not only about scalping. It is about the method used in order to scalp. Therefore, it is in conjunction. Should these computer programs be illegal when used to scalp. I think so because it does give the scalper an advantage. I really don’t like the government getting involved in business, but after what I have witnessed last year until now, I don’t think it’s a bad idea. They can handle cyber crime. Forget about the retailers. They will never consider measures against bots because it benefits them.

This already has a topic.

it is not the same topic. However, it is similar.

Why?

You don't need what the bot scalp. What you really need = Food, Good Health and enough money to survive this mess of a world.

What you need so much that bot scalps that force you to overpay?

I’m not going to lie. I don’t like the fact that scalpers that use bots make things difficult. It’s very annoying. I refuse to pay them, but have to wait a long time to acquire an item. Also I’m jealous of all the money they make. The fact that government regulate ebay and amazon with sales tax also pisses me off. So if I’m paying more because of government intervention, then I might as well get what I pay for.

LMAO

Public lashings, rape and dismemberment of scalpers should be legal

I doubt it being illegal would stop them

U cant even fight a robot to get a GPU, gl beating them at keeping a job plebs.

Jobs = Slavery. People should actually be happy they will be replaced by robots and will be able to live their lives with a fixed income. We're heading that road and it's not too bad. Most people spend way too much on things they don't need at all (New phones, expensive clothing, many cars, boats...) and all the other things they buy to be part of the cool club.

A huge percentage of what you truly need to survive can be obtained for free if you got the skills.
