Just my anecdata, but I have had two friends do work through Uber. Both had lost their jobs suddenly but thankfully had a second income through a spouse. The draw in both cases was cash in pocket now while they find something else. It was easy enough since they could almost set their schedule and they weren't looking for benefits, climbing a ladder, or becoming a premier uber driver. External/long term costs were not even a thought, even when they knew better.
