Uber has went from something magical to a pretty stressful experience filled with paranoia about how two people are silently judging each other for perceived transgressions that don't fit with unstated and unwritten expectations. For instance, maybe a year ago or so, one day driving back from work my car was acting up. I decided to avoid driving it for a day or two until I could get it into a shop to be inspected. So the next morning I used Uber to get to work. Now, I don't live that far from work -- it's maybe a 3-4 minute drive. Evidently, some Uber drivers get pretty upset about short rides like that. I got what I assume must have been a 1 star rating from the driver based on the large impact it had on my rider score. This and similar "incidents" have dropped my rating to 4.69. It was actually lower not too long ago, at maybe 4.66 I believe, but I've been trying to get it back up by giving oversized cash tips (I've always tipped in the past, just usually digitally and in an amount that was more proportional, say 10-20%). Given that 4.6 is the apparent cutoff, I suspect I'll be avoiding Uber as much as I can going forward. I've always been nothing but kind and respectful -- though also quiet and reticent -- and I don't feel like worrying about this anymore.
