Worse than that: Uber has yet to turn a profit!! [1] [2]
Even treating its “independent contractors” like d09(c)h!7 isn’t enough to make the business profitable. As best I can tell, investors are literally investing in the idea... no, hope, that companies can somehow exist without real employees. That they can Pray Away the Proletariat.

- xmdx 6y agoI don't think immediate profitability is a concern for Uber, investors are all in on future profits when/if they move to autonomous cars. The profitability is far greater then, rather than now. I don't know how deliveroo future profits look in comparison.
- KptMarchewa 6y agoThey sold autonomous car division few months ago. If they won't own the technology, then Uber has no moat when it comes to service - people generally use cheapest ride hailing app.
