I wonder when a secondary market will open for highly rated Uber accounts. I can see a future where you have to buy a 4.8 account so that you can get a taxi at peak times.
- hychoi99 7y agoThat will be easily detectable by Uber
- CharlesDodgson 7y agoNever underestimate the power of a market to make something come about.
- Verdex 7y agoMaybe or maybe not. If it is then it will just kick off an arms race. Although, if Uber really knows what they're doing, then they'll allow the buying and selling of accounts and then take a percentage of the sale.
- mLuby 7y agoSo I call in and ask to have a high-rated account summon an Uber to my location. Of course it would make sense to centralize this. Congratulations, we've reinvented taxi dispatch.
- Verdex 7y agoThis is fantastic. If the markups are high enough, I can imagine people who have the job of just taking uber rides all day to grind up ratings for good passenger uber accounts. Reminiscent of faction grinding in MMOs. Life imitates art.
