At first I thought "high price" was related to the treatment of workers on these platforms, or the perils of the workers who flock to them. Less intriguing now that it's just complaining about the markups on goods.

The item prices are relatively clear, and obviously carry a markup for convenience. Same as buying a mattress through a physical store vs Casper - more players in supply chain means more markups. A user can decide if the convenience is worth the markup. Manual entry systems sometimes lead to mistakes, but will disappear as databases become more complete.
