Is it really unthinkable that people would suffer being at the receiving end of all sorts of abuse?
The one story that always got me was a friend who went on a business trip with a CXO, who had "accidentally" forgotten to book a room her. He kindly offered her to crash in his suite. She refused–and later found out it had happened two at least two other women before.
This story about Upload actually sounds somewhat different. It's really more a juvenile culture as you'd see in high school or undergrad, possibly the result of the founders' age. It seems to be very much like typical middle school bullying, but with a sexual component on top.
The only redeeming fact I cling to is that every single company that actually made it big was either somewhat well-behaved from the start, because the people who are successful also tend not to be completely immoral. Or at least they adjusted rather quickly (Facebook comes to mind). Let's hope Uber doesn't prove me wrong.
