Was just talking about how Uber had a golden age where is was better than taxis and had now reverted to sucking. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same here.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the same here. These companies can locally "disrupt" by losing money, buying revenue, and moving ahead of regulation, not to mention taking advantage of novelty to bring in gig workers or property owners or whoever looking to try something new. But once reality catches up with them, their business model is not actually better, and quite possibly less efficient than past models, so they make changes to try and be profitable and end up sucking.
Not that it's bad to try stuff, I think we're just seeing reversion to the mean
