Right. He talks about hypothetical outcomes as if they have happened, which dramatically reduces his credibility.
For instance, in Denver, we still have several (I think even more than when I moved here in 2011) Taxi companies. Those Taxi companies actually use apps now. Those companies don't ever have the "oh the credit card reader is broken" excuse anymore. Riding a Non-uber Taxicab in Denver is an objectively improved experience now!

The culture there was among the worst and most egregious, but it opened the door to unapologetic toxicity that the Valley has never recovered from. There's no excusing it, no overlooking it, and those who would defend it or ignore it are worse than complicit.
