ELI5: Why is wifi free in cheap hotels, but paid in expensive ones?
gpt
Because people who stay at cheap hotels are more price sensitive and people who stay at expensive hotels are less. If you're shelling 200 bucks a night for a hotel room, you either wouldn't mind paying 12 more bucks for wifi or you're on a business trip and you have a company credit card. Where as if you're a broke college kid booking hotel rooms for your road trip, you either won't pay for wifi or you'll book at a hotel that provides free wifi.
