Uber, and Lyft joined with a country that pays their workers 5 cents a day, came in saying were getting paid to much, and started taking most of our hard earned money. We do all of the work. It shouldn’t take 5 hours to make $100 doing all of that driving. We need another company to step in, pay the drivers what they’re worth.

[@psaint60]

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.

[@DriveandThrive]

The problem with promising 5%* more is more than what?! They arbitrarily set the prices. How can we verify this ethereal 5% more?

[@DJNANNU559]

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.

[@psaint60]

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.

[@traviskitteh]

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.

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.

[@UnstableMedic]

Lets be honest. I doubt they will boost by 5%. More than likely they will reduce the fare by 5% for drivers. This feels like a punishment more than a benefit, especially with how bad the offers have been lately. Uber has continually given me shit offers on Uber Eats and the Uber is hit or miss. I'm talking 2-4$ for 5-20 miles of driving.

[@psaint60]

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.

[@calvinhosworld]

Race to the bottom.

[@EMan-cu5zo]

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.

[@kenkvid]

Today a homeless man ran out in front of my car and I had to hit the brakes hard to avoid hitting him. Every time I hit the brakes even though I'm doing it to avoid hitting pedestrians that makes me look like a bad driver and my pay is going to go down 5%. What if I have to accelerate and take evasive action because another driver on the road is driving dangerously? I guess every time I do that it makes me look like a bad driver in my pay goes down. Being a safe driver means watching out for other people who aren't safe pedestrians or safe drivers and it means having to break or accelerate or do things because of other people. That doesn't mean we're bad drivers. It means we're doing what we need to do to drive safely and sometimes that means braking hard and sometimes that means turning hard and sometimes that means accelerating. It's absolutely ridiculous that Uber thinks that they can make up more excuses to lower our pay take away our tools punish us and punish us.

So an advantage mode I get 5% more. So if I do $100 ride, I only get five dollars more. That’s not really a advantage.. so hypothetically if you drive a Prius and you go 100 miles. That’s roughly 2 gallons of gas or more. Now that five dollar advantage in southern California gas prices doesn’t even cover 1 gallon.

My concern on the driving insight score. What happens when something happens like a person or animal runs in front of you and you have to brake suddenly? Your score goes down and it’s not your fault. Or a car starts getting over in your lane and doesn’t see you and almost hits you so you swerve to avoid them hitting you. You get dinged again even though it’s not your fault. There’s so many different scenarios where you have to react and it’s not your fault, but they don’t know that. This isn’t fair or right. What’s your thoughts?

Surges, exclusives, hourly bonus price hikes, events, etc. Are all designed to HERD drivers into driving in certain areas and at certain hours of the day. It's a mind game! The only perks worth a damn are the ones where you get a couple of hundred dollars or more if your stats remain high for several months. After that stats aren't worth keeping high. Might as well choose what you want. I don't care about the perks. They're just psychological games. I'm more annoyed by bad passengers giving me bad ratings just because they feel like it.

The positive side of this makes sense as you're saying it, but as with anything that Uber does there's always a downside for the drivers.

They don't like the cherry pickers, but with three and $4 rides being the average that pops up is really no point to doing this if you don't cherry pick.
