Well I guess that could explain the 50% off rides promo they've been running in NYC for the past 6 weeks. Seems like every Sunday I get a push notification that it is extended.
- HappyTypist 11y agoLyft is running cash-burning (not merely unsustainable) promotions in a select number of cities, most likely to try and impress prospective investors that "We have 40% marketshare in NYC!". Pretty meaningless when that's the result of a 50% off. Meanwhile Uber has been cutting back on promotions and incentives.
- cballard 11y agoI wish Apple would actually ban APNS spammers. Yelp does it too ("Yelp Weekly" or something).

- cballard 11y agoNo, that's not an acceptable solution. Spammers should be banned. But I actually wasn't strong enough: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#push-notifications https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#pus... By section 5.6, Lyft should be removed from the App Store. I wish they'd do it!
