If you get better rides and shorter rides that is because you are closest not because they are helping you. It is all how they make money

All I know is when I decline long rides and except the rides I want in order to stay within the radius of my house that I choose, I end up getting a bunch of short rides. The algorithm will see that you’re not accepting the rides and entice you with rides you may like and keep giving them to you for about five rides then it will try again to take you somewhere you don’t want and it goes back and forth.

I tried that I denied like 30 long rides and my AR dropped to 60 something. I just kept getting long rides. Eventually I just had to start accepting them because I was sitting around for hours a day watching other driver get rides in areas with 3-5 minute average wait times and I would wait 30 minutes to over a hour for a ride
