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 "fuck Doordash" mentality as an excuse for something which may not legally be stealing, but is ethically equivalent to it. I think "fuck X, they deserve it" is an excuse a lot of people use, but obviously it's still wrong even if you don't like your victim, or if you can get away with it.
