Hopefully we can agree that Uber doing things like corporate attacks against Lyft might say something about their character that should give you pause on dealing with them. For example, someone willing to unfairly attack a competitor might also think nothing of disclosing a customer's location in real time without permission for promotional purposes. Oh, they reportedly did that too. With a pattern of poor judgment, it only makes sense to question whether you should use them even if it generally just works.

- morganvachon 12y agoFor me at least, it's not even the questionable morality of pulling dirty tricks on your biggest competitor. It's the fact that Uber feels they have to do these dirty deeds to get ahead in the game. If you feel you can't compete on a level playing field and you have to do such things to keep up, it tells me that you don't have a clue how to really do business in the first place. If I can't trust Uber to build a better product instead of sabotaging their competitor, I'll go with their competitor by default.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 12y agoWhy do you think they're doing it because they 'have to' instead of doing it because they 'can'.
- morganvachon 12y agoIt could be either, or both. Regardless, it's dirty and makes me feel that they'd probably treat their customers with the same disdain.
