  1. So, Uber asked me if removing UberX (the standard option) would make me sad. They wanted to know if I'd choose a different option or leave the platform entirely.

    In all honesty, that would allow only the newer, eco-friendly vehicles to run around, so that's something. The prices aren't any higher, especially if you choose the wait&save option.

    The downside, from what I've noticed, is that (all???) EVs have ad displays in the back. Look, I want to do my part and reduce CO₂ emissions, but I absolutely detest ads. Plus, I'm paying for my ride. At least make them free, you know, like those awful mobile games that people play in the bathroom.

  7. Did you know that the Uber app has a simplified mode that literally shows you exactly what you need from a hail-riding service without any of the annoying ads that take up space and data?

    Apparently, it was designed for the elderly. OK fine by me. 👍

  13. "Taxi driver used to be one of the country’s most dangerous professions. Uber changed that. I don’t know my Uber driver, but the rules and the technology lets us both be confident that neither of us will cheat or attack each other. We are both under constant surveillance, and we are competing for star rankings."

    I have a few questions about this, which reads like reputation laundering for Uber.

    Why would you create cities like that? A world like that? What's wrong with you?
