I'm probably being dense but I don't understand the claim that "Uber is imploding".
From the article: "the company doubled its gross bookings to $20 billion in 2016, and its net revenue (excluding China) was $6.8 billion"
The company had $2.8 billion in losses in 2016 and it puts the company's long term prospects for financial viability into question which might mean a down round on the next funding but the company is hardly about to go under.
The article title should be "Uber got a bunch of bad press and a few execs left" but I guess that doesn't drive impressions.
