How does that change the relevant dynamics, though? If the market would be efficient, then the "FOSS-Uber" drivers would still get paid roughly the same as Uber pays them now. Sure, the drivers might not be creating a profit "to billionaires", but their situation would at most improve marginally.
- kazinator 11y agoHow so? Give half your revenue (or whatever fraction) to some parasite, versus keep all the revenue? No brainer. (Or you mean that with open source, decentralized competition, there would be more drivers doing it and the revenue itself would drop?)
- nawitus 11y agoMy assumption was that the margins drivers will have will be small due to competition. Not sure if Uber's margins are currently small or not.
