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?

Competition.
People will pay more for nonstop flights. So airlines have to offer an incentive to take a connecting flight, by making multiple flights cheaper.
Eg flying Dallas to Paris you can fly Air France or American. But if you take a connection you can fly Delta, United, Lufthansa, British Airways, Air Canada, Turkish, etc.
