In principle, repeated choice of whether or not to use a specific product is a form of negotiation, where each choice provides information to the seller, who can then update their pricing accordingly. In practice, this is an extremely weak signal, is swamped out by market changes, assumes zero cost of switching, ignores network effects, etc. One of many reasons why I distrust economist’s assertion of fairness.
