Not the same guy, but I feel like Uber is a pretty cutthroat company, and they are probably not an example of a sustainable model in a more freelance/gig based economy. I like that they're paving the way for a new way of doing things and I use them almost exclusively here in London.
I wouldn't say I want Uber to go under, I really don't. But if another company like Lyft can do it in a way I feel is more ethical, I would easily switch over.
- steven2012 10y agoIn 2016, how exactly do you think Uber is unethical? I find the idea that trying to disrupt taxi monopolies as unethical is ridiculous. And sure they had some shady shenanigans back in 2013-2014 (as did Lyft), but that hasn't been the case since then. What have they done recently that is unethical?
