They are all the same

There are several companies coming out with their own rideshare app. Wridz is one that will give their drivers 100% commission.

@@Ggg496WRIDZ is much different

When the risks are high and people are ignorant of it. I support regulation.

When private companies sell their proverbial soul to go public they no longer run that company as shareholders now own it and ALL the profits. CORPORATE GREED at its finest.

😂👍🏽

Why so high?

​@@BrotherK-ex2co lol

😂😂😂😂

Sounds good to me. Either way, Advantage drivers get paid more.

@@WaltDittrich How do you figure? You still get paid at the same rate today which is a third less than what we made five years ago. There is no 5% pay increase and even on a best day if there was it would be what $15

Hey 5% more means; let’s say I get a $3 dollar real short ride; with advantage mode I will be making 0.15 cents more??? While Uber still charging to the rider 8 to 11 dollars?? Still sounds like garbage, isn’t??🤔

@@rustyg.7143 no. You still get $3.00 the standard driver gets paid $2.85 . You make an additional 5% vs the standard driver but you will not make an additional 5%.

They can spin it however they like. The whole operation still lurks behind whatever financial hocus pocus and tomfuckery they’ve got going with take rates, skimming, shaving, insurance manipulation and service charges that are completely arbitrary and opaque. I think the entire legion of Uber drivers needs to adopt Billy Preston’s tune Nothing From Nothing as our official anthem and walk-on music. “Nothing from nothing leaves nothing and you gotta have something if you want to be with me.”

Nah. One doesn't have to follow the new guidelines, but if they do, they have the potential to earn more.

​@@WaltDittrichLmao, the programing you have.

They can easily pay drivers less upfront then make drivers more work to chase for that 5% but they will take more and more and in the end they make drivers feels good that they got 5% 😂. Just like they do with surge. Lower the fare pay and make drivers feel that they got paid surge 😂. Its just making drivers fool thats all because they do not want to pay the drivers more but want to make them more work thats the bottom line. Many innocent drivers will fall for it thats sad.

Exactly. Every one of their “lightbulb” moments involves drivers being forced to chase a carrot we can’t see and accept their assurances that it’s an improvement.

1. Emphesis on "on average." 2. They control the rides and know what rides are available. They can increase your "pay" by showing you the higher value rides from the available pool. 3. Likewise, they reduce your pay by showing you only thw lower value rides from the pool. Don't be fooled into thinking that Uber is spending anything extra on drivers. (Edited because I hit the enter button too early. :/)

Yes, this absolutely feels like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum because they aren’t getting their way. My service fees have gone from under 20% to 22.4% in two weeks. Exactly enough to zero out every tip I get. The laundry list of charges they list that make up the service charge sounds like the exact same list they use to justify their take rates. I think they are trying to purge anyone who is left who isn’t willing to settle for this nonsense. They want a compliant supply of labor that is used to working for nothing, will do as they are told and won’t make waves. And right now they have millions of warm bodies to choose from.

Race to the bottom.

Exactly. I get annoyed I even bothered to look at my phone. 2$ for picking up somebody’s food and dropping it off even three miles away isn’t worth it. It still ends up taking about thirty minutes and why would I even turn the key on the car for offers like this. Should be a five dollar minimum and that’s for under a four mile radius. Even that is ridiculously low and will probably turn it down unless I just want to get out of the house.

We don’t get wages. We get a cut we’re independent contractors

Keep telling yourself that

Don't drive if it bothers you so much

Troll

​@@joegug4751despite the way things should be, he is correct. We are contractors and, therefore, we get a slice of the pie as opposed to a regular wage

I don't know, when they took away that fuel surcharge a couple years ago, drivers were pretty upset.

Yes!!!!!

Yup same here

Same where I live

Consumer Reports did a full report on CMT a few years ago. The insurance companies spun it as a way to save on your insurance bill. The reality is, less than 50% of people who installed it saved money. Most paid significantly more. Many of the factors they measure-braking, acceleration, cornering are completely at the discretion of the insurance company and not transparent. What are the thresholds for hard braking, aggressive acceleration or fast cornering? Drivers don’t know. Factors that sound harmless like time of day were used to discriminate against third shift workers as it was determined that was a more dangerous time to drive- so they were charged more. These things monitor your car and your behavior 24/7/365 and they retain the data for years and often sell it to others. If you value your privacy at all, NEVER put a device like this in your car and make sure you disable monitoring functions on your phone like accelerometers that allow it to track your movements and speed. These are often hidden as wellness or fitness measures on your phone or in fitness apps. The chances of Uber and/or insurance companies using the information these devices provide to benefit you are slim and the risks are huge.

and non existent stop signs. The app shows them but there are none on the street.

Factzzzz

EXACTLY

My exact sentiments

That's Just Uber way of Punishing for not doing what they want. " Do as we say and Be Advantage If Not You can Just Be Standard " that's what they're basically Saying. they're promising Extra for those that play their Game but in all Reality they will not pay. Why ? Because they already have that Image and Reputation. Uber / Lyft Are a Joke Now. Driver's are at a 100% Risk From Fatality Car accidents or Dangerous Passengers Everytime they go out to drive and to be treated like Trash. No Thank You !

What surge prices? Those are rare nowadays. Uber is finished. Time to get real jobs.

Not to mention states like arizona where you can be ticketed for not speeding if you are not keeping up with the flow of traffic.

@@DriveandThrive Avoid those things at all costs. It’s like volunteering for 24/7/365 surveillance.

It can be a danger to others if someone is not going with the flow of traffic. If I am driving 45mph on a road that should be 55mph and everyone on average goes about 60 then you are a problem. Not to mention someone with road rage might do something stupid due to them thinking you’re doing it just to piss them off.

They now don't even care about driver or passenger safety.

Captain chair

You are loosing a spot with captain. Its easier to get to third row. But most SUVs are really easy to fold the seat to access the third row if necessary. I recommend bench seat. 8 passenger to maximize space and seats for luggage or passengers or both

@@ronrivas1453 🤣 N O. But I guess they have us all pegged as a gullible bunch.

Exclusive literally just means the offer is exclusive to your eyes to accept or deny before it is sent onwards to someone else. Basically, it's anything but a Trip Radar.

It has in some markets. There are people complaining already in Facebook driver groups.

@@watcherlady8089 Count on it. Consumer Reports did an entire story on those devices on October 7, 2021. They are not your friend.

@@watcherlady8089 I guess someone on here doesn’t want you to know because they keep deleting my answer to you.

@@psaint60 what devices?

@@watcherlady8089 Either they will track your behaviors through a unit you plug in or they will do it through an app on your phone. The one my son had to use for Gecko recorded everything every time he drove. I don’t think they will distinguish between Uber and non Uber driving. Consumer reports did a report on these measurement tools in 2021. It explains what you should know. IMHO it’s a huge invasion of privacy and most people regret doing it.

@@RayJ.JohnsonJr My son got conned into installing one with bs about lower rates. Those things are recording everything that car does 24/7/365. His rates doubled.
