You commit same error you accuse others off. DoorDash mostly solved problems for a small part of reasonably wealthy people, mostly without families, living in big cities, that don’t cook.
You overestimate how your lifestyle isn’t representative of the world.
- viro 6y agomy lifestyle is middle class in the midwest. Why do you think a $1.99-$5.99 is a luxury?
- justapassenger 6y agoThere’s more to the world than USA, for a start. And more than just middle class.
- mrtranscendence 6y agoThe world absolutely doesn't begin and end with middle class in the USA. But you're just wrong to say "DoorDash mostly solved problems for a small part of reasonably wealthy people, mostly without families, living in big cities". There were times it or a competitor were a godsend for my not-quite-middle-class sister, with five children to feed, who lives in a small city a half hour from Cincinnati.
- justapassenger 6y agoIt’s not exclusively for middle class, sure, but that’s their main target market. It has other users, and it’s great if it’s solving their problems as well. I’m not diminishing their impact (although I question lots of their business practices). But it’s not the most important tech, by a huge huge margin.
- simonh 6y agoThe only point was that DoorDash probably affected more lives in more positive ways than PinePhone ever will, however little that might be. That's probably accurate.
- troyvit 6y agoI disagree. DoorDash maybe affected 15 million lives? I dunno. And sure it made life more convenient for them and kept them from having to put on an oven mitt. An open phone that frees you from the largest surveillance network in human history? Might have a larger overall effect.
