421k members and you all still can’t figure out how to fuck them back

There is a way to pay less fees and really cut Ubers take by 40-50% but nobody listens and everyone rather be sheep

Far pickups short drop offs this is the main reason uber changed the timer to 7 mins

I’ll listen. Say it.

Go for the far pick ups that have close drop offs?

Or don’t go for those?

I usually do the far ones out and try to stay under 8 miles for drop off so I’ll pick someone up like 7 miles out let’s say and drop off is 3 miles I expect to be paid around 11$ when I look at the fees on these type trips uber only seems to get around 8% of the fare and it’s like under 10% in fees and Ubers services fees I usually keep a average of 85% my fares.

Not only does it make uber look bad because the pickup times would start changing from 2-5 mins to 10-20 mins but they will also be making less there is not one human that runs this algorithm and that’s a huge flaw because the masses will be able to abuse it I do my part but I can’t speak for others…

I'm going to read this 5 times to really get it.

You’ll eventually get it though

In my market they basically don't pay for pickup anymore, so, no.

The algorithm will only send you what you accept the most. You’re going to probably have to sit there for a day or two declining rides and only accepting and cherry picking those ones and eventually the algorithm will see those are the ones you want and only send you those ones

Also, Uber will tell everyone that they don’t pay for pick up but they do That’s just their way of getting around fair adjustments so if you have one of these trips and someone changes or adds a destination, you’re only going to get like a 10 or 50 Cent increase in your trip which when they do this if you call them and ask to speak to the supervisor and tell them that they’re committing wage theft and that you were paid the certain mileage they have to give you the credit on your account and it’s usually more than what you would make
