> Presumably people are fine with getting "ripped off" by Uber, otherwise they wouldn't keep using Uber and paying for it. I’m not sure why we should presume people are “fine” with this just because it’s something that happens. Plenty of things happen in this world that are not “fine” and make people upset, but continue to happen because of market forces, lack of reasonable alternatives, something being the “least bad” option, etc. I think one of the most glaring issues is that Uber has established dominance in the category, which gives them power of their users and allows them to implement pricing strategies that are user-hostile with less chance of repercussions.
