I understand that skiplagging is finding a flight that is cheaper to go from point A, to B, with a planned trip to C, but just leaving the airport at B.
I don’t understand the basic concept of how this happens though. How is a flight from A-B-C, ever cheaper than a flight just A-B? The extra cost of the C leg would have to be entirely absorbed by the savings from A-B, how is that possible?

I saw an article about the airline banning this practice, and someone got refused boarding because they managed to get the customer to admit they planned to skiplag.
Why does it cost the airline anything? The ticket is paid for A-B-C, who cares if they get off at B?
