It's not like it's a desirable occupation. It's unskilled work. What you see is people using it as a temporary way to make money between other jobs. Not sure why that's damning.
- stouset 9y agoTaxi-driving is a full-time job with tons of people who've been doing it for years. Is taxi-driving a desirable occupation for skilled workers? Lyft and Uber aren't keeping drivers for a straightforward reason: they're a comparably worse value proposition than being a taxi driver used to be. I'm not saying there aren't advantages to the new system. There certainly are. But the drivers are bearing the brunt of the downsides.
- SamReidHughes 9y agoRight, drivers no longer have the barriers to entry that prevent competition. The ones that don't bear the brunt are new drivers.
