wait reversing the ad actually makes so much sense.

I think they were trying to play on the viral trend of using hydraulic presses to crush different things. It can be funny and satisfying to watch in a short but the way Apple portrayed it, esp with the music, felt...off. Like, it could have worked with less somber music and not showing shots of humanoid, vaguely sad looking things getting crushed.

We are a "Platinum Tier Dasher" because we average a 4.9 star rating and we were at a 99% acceptance rate (meaning we accepted every order that Doordash gave us). Because we were a Platinum Dasher, with a great rating and high acceptance rate, we could dash whenever we wanted without scheduling a shift in advance. We were also informed that we were "bring prioritized for higher paying tips", which seemed to help at first. We were averaging like $30+ an hour. But recently, we had to stop because even with the same above stats and prioritization, we had some nights making only like 5-10 bucks an hour. It's insane.

I signed up for a stock trading app and started the process of buying $1500 worth of Gamestop. I was literally a touch away before deciding it was too risky and that I could be screwed for a few weeks until I got another unemployment check so I decided not to buy.
