It's always easier to attribute blame to a few like callers or bloggers. Instead of the ancient obselete myth that callers get fare corrected, people buying specific routes en masse in a short time will require trigger airlines' systems and require manual intervention. One of them I published even wasn't a spectacular deal with 5k views like other typical deals. Without foul job and blogs forwarding, it goes out in less than a day by pulling the fare basis.

And oh boy I do love the fact that one had to call airline to switch away from a toilet seat.
