Your average person is not going to pay attention or care about what Uber as a company does.
The only things that matters to the average user is the experience and the price - in order for people to stop using Uber something has to affect them personally.
- ryantbrown 9y agoThis is dead on, I'm well aware of Uber's issues and continue to use them almost daily. It's such a useful service for me at this point in my life that I can't think of much that would make we walk away. I've never personally had a bad experience with Uber or Lyft, and unless that happens, I'll continue to use their services. The bottom line is I just don't care THAT much, i'm more concerned with my life.
- Fezzik 9y agoI really do not think this is true. It may vary geographically, but I can say unequivocally that everyone I know in my city (Portland, Oregon) is aware of and annoyed by the apparent sexist culture and shady law-evading that has become associated with Uber. And it has definitely altered their usage habits. And they talk about it. A lot. Having entered the market as a heralded White Knight, doing battle with entrenched and crummy Taxi companies, Uber had a high standard to live-up to. Yet they keep shooting themselves in the tires.
- malandrew 9y ago> And they talk about it. A lot. That's signaling. It's a mating strategy. Whether that actually changes the behavior of all those who are signaling when they aren't being observed by others in their in-group is another matter entirely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory
- neuronexmachina 9y agoCute attempt at trying to minimize people's concerns. If you want to play that game though, using services other than Uber is also signaling.
