yeah, order volume is flat but ad business is growing significantly, and it seems that their primary competitor (doordash) is growing at the expense of shipt and/or amazon, not instacart; and, a lot of the YoY flatness is explained awa

The whole point is to remove biases -- did you even read any of the source material? Right now there is tremendous societal pressure and varying outcomes depending on _who_ you are (race/gender/other socioeconomic factors) and the
