Airfare Discrimination as a Service: Airlines' Favorite New Pricing Trick

So, who wants to make a "find a travel companion" service?

"I'm flying New York to Miami on 10:30 on American, who wants to ride-share?".

There's probably complexities about handling payments - e.g. if someone promises to pay and fly, but doesn't pay and doesn't show up, then I've wasted money on an empty seat, I guess it's sort of solvable that the service collects the money and pays the ticket buyer after they share the itinerary.

Or just accept that it's 2025 and it's not worth it trying to rely on humanity's honesty anymore...
