For a brief period, I worked Uber(eats) and DoorDash at the same time. I'm absolutely convinced that the two services speak to each other on the backend (or perhaps monitor each other on your phone) and structure the orders they offer you in such a way as to thwart you efforts to double-app. Uber would be utter silent for 10-20 minutes, and then send an order right after accepting a DoorDash one, and generally in the opposite direction.
In general, I do wonder if/when all of the slimy anti-competitive, anti-labor stuff these companies are doing will come out. I'm not holding my breath for jail-time, but boy, would it be nice.
While I'm here, it sure would be nice if someone were to spin up a fediverse/decentralized alternative that municipalities could adopt and interconnect.
