You may disagree but I feel we are in an age of transparency. TripAdvisor, yelp, cargurus, Amazon reviews etc. Consumers want to know as much detail as possible prior to a purchase or visiting a hotel.

My big point is that one of the remaining non transparent industries is nightlife. Bars create fake lines and charge bogus covers.

I just feel like technology could improve this.

And they became profitable because they managed to provide a visibility service for millions of local establishments, not a bunch of crooked bars.
