Trends: Uber vs. Lyft
Why do we dislike Uber? Lets go through the links.1) Stuff about the CEO's personal life.2) CEO wants to automate business processes. Those of us in tech would never consider replacing humans with machines, right?3) Trying to compete for workers. (Didn't we hate Apple/Google for agreeing not to do this?)4) We love Peter Thiel and he hates it.5-7) A few Uber drivers are crazy (Uber is helping the cops). Note that if most of these incidents happened in a taxi, the cops would have little info unless the passenger remembered a license #.8) Standard french advertising in France.9) Standard PR.10) Exec discusses hiring journalists to do journalism to journalists. You know, digging up stuff about their personal life, kind of like (1) on this list.Are these the real justifications? Or are we simply engaging in internet mobbing because we get to feel self righteous, and the CEO is kind of a jerk?Disclaimer: I've used Uber maybe 3-4x in my life and was happy every time. Lyft rejected my CC. I use autowale.in whenever I can't flag one off the street.
