    The RealPage rental price collusion software company is such a clear example of vectoralist formation as a service to small landlords and financial institutions managing large numbers of properties. They are all paying to feed their private data into the algorithm so they can receive coordinated pricing recommendations in return, all while the software firm takes their cut off the top without owning anything besides an info platform and algorithm.

    These are definitely interesting evolutions in class relations amongst the ruling classes.
