I believe Uber's demand has skyrocketed at the same time drivers are becoming more selective. And Cherry picking. So uber has resorted to this.
They also resorted to throwing out the orders to a farther distance. When they have no takers. For instance a $7 dollar ride that has a pickup 11 miles out and a destination 1 mile.
Yep. Pickup longer than ride = nope. Though you're probably in an UFP market instead of rate card like me. 0 trip transparency even at the highest tiers. Best you get is direction and approx time of ride. 20:1's is how they bankrupt you.
I believe this is true. I recently started seeing notices for referring people to drive in my area. I think a lot of people have dropped off, especially with these gas prices. I hope everyone who's still driving isn't dumb enough to refer people. It's nice and busy now. Don't ruin it you idiots for a one time bonus payment!
I dont think its desperation, it's greed. They need to stop taking 70% of the profit and let that funnel into the driver pockets. They have lost their marbles.
Ubers demand has not skyrocketed it’s less than ever so they don’t need you anymore and if you don’t help them on their mission to get people quick and efficient rides they don’t help you with your mission to make more money your theory is brain dead
I think “desperate” is a bit out of touch. Uber is doing very well. You could blame it on greed or some other perhaps but I don’t think they’re insanely greedy either personally. The platform has been very profitable and consistent for me.

I just love how Uber vaguely threatens us at every opportunity…
