If Uber/Lyft really marketed it as a viable career option, then yeah, they definitely hold some responsibility there. The vibe I got was that ride sharing was something you could do on the side for fun, or maybe to/from a long commute or something for some bonus (but not sustainable) side income.
- enraged_camel 8y agoNo, they definitely marketed it as a lifestyle, i.e. having no boss, working whenever you want and wherever you want, etc. etc. Go watch some of their earlier (or even current) commercials.
