The argument I’d make is that Uber game-ifies payouts, so it can be hard to actually know how much you’re making and it could take a while to realize if you’re profiting. Throw in some wishful thinking and gambling tendencies and you can quite easily take advantage of human psychology.
Separately - companies in the US take advantage of most employees. So I’d say any large employer could do with an FTC shakedown.
- kansface 4y agoSo you’d be OK with requirements that eg Uber provides those numbers in plain English?
- teaearlgraycold 4y agoI think the system needs to change. You have no idea if the ride in that zone will take you 30 minutes away so you actually need to drive back unpaid to get higher fares. I think with enough transparency it can be fair to the drivers - but to the detriment of the customer experience.
