What's with the aggressive attitude? The writer admits that he doesn't fully understand the psyche of a "millennial" and then tries to be subtle and smear Uber

What's with the aggressive attitude? The writer admits that he doesn't fully understand the psyche of a "millennial" and then tries to be subtle and smear Uber. I'm a millennial and a software engineer so I make enough money to be able to purchase an eight passenger suburban and drive it around if I wanted to but I don't own a car so instead I choose to ride share. Is getting into an Uber more offensive than buying a suburban? This whole article felt like they were trying to prove why they are better than Uber by trying to make some fake sense of guilt for using Uber. I use Uber exclusively because my experiences with them have been so much better than the experiences I've had with lyft.
Instead of focussing on why Uber is bad they should try to focus on helping make lyft suck less.
- pbreit 12y agoI think the audience is just bi-furcating. There are many Lyft riders who are horrified at the thought of sitting in the back solo of a non-professional's car. Likewise, there are many Uber riders who are insulted by the thought of chatting with their paid driver.
- ericd 12y agoBuying a Suburban and riding around in it alone could be considered offensive because it's somewhat selfish.
