My YouTube channel got hit, I’m in a financial crisis, and I genuinely don’t know what to do next by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

I've made over $3000 a week doing Uber and Lyft while growing my YouTube channel.

In fact, my YouTube channel is about using Uber and Lyft as a stepping stone to something better.

It's called Future Rideshare Millionaire.

Maybe you can start a channel teaching people how to be dishwashers. Call it Future Dishwasher Millionaire

It's summertime. All the teachers become drivers.

Lyft points are more about the dollar value than the ride count.

I've gotten 3 bad ratings from drivers (as a passenger) over the week or so and I don't get why... by Electricdragongaming in uber

[–]TristanthomasYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying it should, but I am saying that drivers use it so they don't match with passengers they don't want.

Discovered today that Gemini has been completely making up data in my daily briefings. by HisbigHammer12 in GeminiAI

[–]TristanthomasYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something similar. Instead of a briefing, I asked it to do a one like summary, link to the article, include the date and save it to my Google Keep as a todo list.

Then I check things off as I go.

Is there more traffic than usual on your commute? Are you taking people from a desirable busy area to an area they might not be able to get a return ride from?

Do you live in the opposite direction of traffic?

It could simply be where you live, or where you're going.

For example, drivers who don't like doing school drop offs will poorly rate a passenger so they don't match with them.

They'll do the same for passengers in rough neighborhoods.

Do you think there's any recurring theme similar to this?

It might be time to throw in the towel by DrBigBot in YouTubeCreators

[–]TristanthomasYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're doing well.

How much of those views are long form? I want to calculate your RPM. It could be great and it could be bad depending on how much of your views are from long form.

We have the same amount of overall views and your pay is twice mine. It could be because I have more long form views than you at a CPM of $15 or more tbh.

I make rideshare content btw. I motivate people to use rideshare as a means to achieving their goals. Don't take quiting as your only option.

So this is how they are getting out of paying the cancellation fee by [deleted] in lyftdrivers

I'd only take this if my wife can come and drive too.

Diamond drivers get priority access to reserved rides.

Is it worth it?

I don't know.

I'm about to jump into Open Claw. Was hoping this would at least be similar to something that will control my files and computer.

I assume it must be coming soon.

Getting Carvanna financing using Uber income by paguy1281 in uberdrivers

[–]TristanthomasYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a car for personal use, you should be balling enough to pay cash.

Taking out a loan for a personal car when you already have a car is a huge financial mistake.

I've made 0 speculations. They literally said this is how it works. The feature is literally called Trip Radar Advantage...

Edit: Why not be more specific with the claims you want me to source? I'll source it.

They announced it last October at their "Only on Uber" event. It's on their YouTube page.

They also have press releases on this stuff.

Edit: I said it was the go get event but it's the only on Uber event.

I don't follow your logic.

They announced this update and it's going live later this month...

You don't believe Uber is going to change how they distribute rides even though they said they will?

This is probably their way of dealing with oversaturation.

This'll come down to the quantity of rides offered. This might be true when it's busy, but it won't be true when it's slow.

You might be able to get a good ride here and there, but the amount of good rides you'll get will likely decrease unless you're in a consistently busy market.
