It's not just tech skills at all. The network effect is particularly multiplied with Uber, as the feedback loop is far stronger:
* The fewer drivers you have, the longer ETAs there are.
* The longer ETAs there are, the less drivers earn.
* The less drivers earn, the less drivers there are.
* Rinse and repeat.

- HappyTypist 11y agoTechnically yes, but some platforms increases the priority of drivers the longer they've been waiting. For someone operating on multiple platforms, they'll have to go offline when the other app gets a ping. This resets their priority, and really just results in a multi-operating driver getting 80-90% of their pings in the busiest app.
