Consumer brands are competing with each other on store shelves and online, with (as the WSJ article below notes) the most notorious example being Gillette competing with Dollar Shave and Harry's. That's just one example. Of course other sectors have been always cutthroat (grocery), while others not so much (pharma)... so far. In the blog intro to this, one exec stated the big brands are now all bound and no pricing. With even more online comparison tools coming up , what effect will this have and will it eventually overtake other sectors (like pharma I mentioned before)?

Note I was going to post on r/economics but looking at what this will do for stocks (US and international) .... though general economic impacts are ok too.
