My experience has been the opposite. I find a place on booking/priceline/$whatever, then I go to the hotel’s website, and it’s ~30% more expensive. I’d prefer to go directly through the hotel, but they keep charging me more, which never made sense to me.

sounds like they’re trying to be a loss leader? entice everyone in with artificially low prices, become a monopoly, and jack prices up.
That sounds possible, but I’d probably attribute it to hotels being bad at managing their pricing
