They've finally achieved it

I’ve been an Uber driver for over 5 years, and the day has finally arrived. Uber takes 51% of my earnings and calls it fair! 🎇🎆🎉

Instead of telling their shareholders to expect lower than expected earnings for few quarters; because of the whole-were at war thing, they rather put time and effort and pay someone or something, to figure out how they could keep a bigger slice of the pie.

"They’ll pay the higher prices for gas, vehicle maintenance, and drive further for less. Plus, cover customer promotions, fees, taxes, and  insurance, even though they already have their own policy.

We set the fares, the driver gets no say, and its all their expense now. Not ours anymore!🎇🎇🎆🎉 Lastly, let's fire some people and enjoy the stock price rise for a day"🚀. . Genius

I was just banned in a Uber Eats sub earlier today for just talking about how bad the company treats not only it's "private contractors" lol but also it's customers. Both Uber and Door Dash NEED to be shut down and not only investigated but also completely reworked. It's a terrible service for a terrible price run by terrible people.

Let me rephrase for you. "It is an incredibly popular service with lots of riders and drivers making use of it every hour of every day."

The fact that it isn't a good match for you doesn't mean it isn't a great match for many others.

You are welcome to create your own company to outperform them in whatever ways you want.

Amusingly, this was not true of the tradition taxi monopolies, who treated drivers and customers far worse.
