DoorDash and pizza arbitrage (2020)
I liked this article, and I like the cleverness of the scheme. But I wish it had offered more of an explanation about the economics of delivery. He said his friend was just figuring it out: two years later, can he offer a reason for why Doordash can be losing so much money, other than a network of pizza arbitrageurs?<p>One thing that bothered me a little was the &quot;fuck Doordash&quot; mentality as an excuse for something which may not legally be stealing, but is ethically equivalent to it. I think &quot;fuck X, they deserve it&quot; is an excuse a lot of people use, but obviously it&#x27;s still wrong even if you don&#x27;t like your victim, or if you can get away with it.
