This is the first down voted to absolute transparency comment I have ever seen. Although what he is saying is very extreme. There are certain scandals which I was pretty pissed off about but there were other "scandals" i felt were very unfair to them. For eg. the whole delete uber for providing service to JFK when people were protesting was absolute horse shit. They even cancelled the surge pricing, promised to help out drivers stuck abroad etc. The issue here was people were outraged without any logical reasoning behind it. Lyft did not stop the service but hell no one deleted lyft that day. Second one being when Travis being on Trump's board, come on every major tech CEO was on the board. Once people decide to hate a particular thing they seem to think little about what they are getting angry about. Having said that, they do or have done some shitty things as a company and I hope they work that shit out.

Mere-Exposure Effect?

I normally agree with this sentiment. In this case, in my opinion, the Uber situation was so inexcusable that I took my business elsewhere.

Me, and not many other people, it seems.

You sound like someone who angrily voted for trump.

Things need to get worse before they get better?

Are you more likely to use Google products now too?

Do you use this approach with everything?

"Poop tastes bad." "How PC, I'll eat some!"

+1 thank you uber for triggering the entertaining outrage

Well, it's probably just as politically incorrect to let your post with its rebellious attitude stand with positive vote count, so I upvoted it.
