I think part of the problem is tipping. Remember how Uber used to say tips weren’t necessary and then they decided to encourage tipping so that they could pay drivers less. The problem is a huge chunk of users don’t bother tips. I tried driving Uber/Lift for a couple days in 2019 to see if I could make extra money and noticed that the majority of my fares were just people going to their job at Burger King and I’d make like 4 bucks for that and no tip. And I wouldn’t really expect people using Uber as transportation for their low wage job to be tipping much but it just showed me that the whole system was pretty broken.
