I always do and I've heard enough complaints about Uber from them that I've switched entirely to Lyft or Juno (local to NYC) which they much prefer and make more money from. They also frequently complain that they used to be able to live well off the driving but it keeps getting harder to stay afloat and they're not sure what they're going to do. One guy that particularly stuck out had been an engineer at GE working on modifying helicopter engines for desert conditions for the US military (they ultimately made tolerances bigger and it fixed the sand problems counter intuitively). He then had a failed start-up and was driving because he couldn't find any work because of the gap in his CV (as he told it). Said he hated driving and it didn't pay the bills but he didn't know what else to do. We all have plenty of anecdotal evidence. But maybe things are different in NYC than out west.
