Re:I make $8k/yr sending cheap flight alert emails by pogansrun on Thursday November 10, 2022 @11:21PM (#33557281)
I’ve seen a few companies come and go in the last few years who tried to automate it and failed. It seems people are really paying for the sense of curation and review, since what makes something a “good deal” can’t always be measured by a computer. Or maybe people just like their flight alerts wrapped in a friendly and helpful tone, and the tech gurus who can program it aren’t adept enough at copywriting. I’m just thinking out loud. I’m curious to hear others thoughts on programmatic vs human selected

I thought yours is automated too. How do you do it manually? Go through various airline websites daily to see what they've got to offer?

Yeah that's actually a good point, I was thinking that what would probably be useful is a system of collecting the data first and then from there curating it.
