to the tune of less than minimum wage, in some markets, yes!

basically right up there with that goon who runs a farm of ad clickers on his dozens of android devices for pennies a day, but with a greater chance of personal injury and potential liability

can't say i know. i think people do make some money, but often sub-minimum-wage, and taking huge personal risks in the process

i think it is safe to assume that every uber driver is in it out of either desperation or stupidity

if you're in one of the like four good markets you can work more or less as many hours as you want and make ~$25/hr before tax. everywhere else it's $7-12, and most markets are 3-5 hours a day

the smart thing to do if you want to do uber is wait for one of their big new driver promotions where they pay you a $100 bonus for your first drive and then stop once you get the bonus payment

you're asking questions that miss the point entirely.

people drive for uber for the appearance of gainful employment and to keep busy enough to keep the suicidal thoughts at bay during long periods of unemployment.

it's also handy to avoid the social stigma of joblessness. they can say that they're not jobless to people with a straight face, and have it be true, but in a purely technical sense of course.

there is no money being made driving Uber. nobody is correctly assessing the wear and depreciation of their vehicle. on average an Uber driver drives 1 mile empty for ever mile with passenger. that’s doubling the costs for every passenger mile and cutting the pay in half.

i took three lyfts while travelling two months ago and two of the drivers just out of nowhere were like 'signing up for this was a big mistake'

ok i put it on teespring along with the same image from the sticker i made for defcon

https://teespring.com/stores/shirts-for-computer-touchers

i've never done a teespring thing so lmk if i screwed something up or w/e

it wouldn't let me put the shirts for 0 profit, and when i tried like $0.10 profit, it said that was too low as well. so i guess i make like $0.50 - $1.50 depending on exchange rate and what the next round dollar/euro was

i also tried to make a shirt of 'john brown free 'em all 1859 south is a gently caress' but it got immediately taken down for copyright even though i made it from a public domain image. i totally bit the idea from somebody here though, it was a really good idea. i opened an IP escalation for that :shrug:
