When Uber first started in my city, the smarter ones were making over $1,000 a day by circling the airport. Then, they change the airport system so you couldn't "camp" within a certain radius. So, it dropped to $750 per day. Then, they introduced Uber Pool and made it so you accepted your next ride before your current one ended, resulting in people no longer getting to decide when to eat, when to take breaks, etc.
So, within a couple of months Uber went from being great for both drivers and riders to slave labor where only certain ethnic groups are doing it.
