Is it really as dramatic as all that? Just seems like ragging on uber is 'a viral topic' right now. Likely thanks to the couple of articles this past while that've no doubt made the rounds on FB/etc.
Once it's "old hat" people will go back to business as usual, albeit uber's steadily increasing prices and myriad other issues mean people'll always have that negative aftertaste (and possibly switch to other services or cutting back on ridesharing for a while)
Waves of hate for companies are nothing new; not saying Uber's not going to have enduring hate too but I don't think this is anything "different" than what I'd've expected. Just look at United right now.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI for one am waiting for Uber to finally die, and have been for the past 3 years or so. This is a shitty company led by sociopaths, that has no place in a modern, civilized society. It leaves bad example to follow for future entrepreneurs. Why Uber is still alive is something that makes me worry about what chances the rule of law has vs. VC money.
