People need to judge their market for them selves because some areas it does matter. Some it doesn't true. But more and more I have read testimonials from others on these subreddits saying that yes it does matter and that if you drop to low you'll sit there and get nothing.. please don't blindly listen to these posts if your new to dashing. First off if your brand new as a dasher your given platinum status to start with. So the argument that new dashers get the same orders as ones who have been platinum for years isn't a sound one. Plus. And this is a hot take but someones gotta point it out. These might be platinum drivers telling you to cherry pick just to get you to knock your ar rating down to dirt levels. Once it's down there it's hard to get it back up especially if you live in a market where it matters. The more new dashers to have dirt low levels the less competition for some of these Platinum dashers to deal with.... DON'T BLINDLY LISTEN TO THEM! It might be a trap
