I deleted my account, too, but I wonder if that was the most effective way to register my discontent with Uber. It was estimated in December that Uber spends about $1.55 for every dollar of revenue they take in [1], so refusing to use Uber isn't exactly hurting their bottom line.
On the other hand, I've yet to talk to an Uber driver that doesn't also accept fares via Lyft, and if we can convince drivers to abandon Uber by shifting our consumer dollars to Lyft, then the Uber brand and platform will lose value.
