It seems like an easy tweak to nullify this strategy is to invalidate automated arbitration claims.
Even without this tweak, if a company saw a huge increase in "cookie cutter" arbitration suits they could probably just not respond to these suits and hope that the majority of complainants aren't willing to go to court. A cookie cutter suit likely indicates a low-effort action, not likely to be followed up with a lawsuit. How many of the 6,000 DoorDash claims would have gone to court if DD just didn't respond? At $1,500 per claim even if dozens or a couple hundred went to court DoorDash may have still have saved money.

That service will first file several thousands of arbitration claims, the company doesn't pay and then it will file a class action lawsuit and make it lawyers rich.
