But, why? They've always been boisterous and exploitative. Just because someone provides a "do what I want" button doesn't absolve them of all their koala-fueled tyranny in the background.
It turns out when you allow cutthroat capitalism with no regulators or oversight (or regulators that lag by 5-10 years), it becomes easy to abuse so many features of our shared economy. Startups figured this out about 7 years ago and are going full steam ahead with exploitation at the speed of business model evolution.
> he created Uber to have a more "baller" way to travel around San Francisco
so, uber is basically 100% BroTaxi, just not so obviously branded. Then lyft is half BroTaxi ("mustache rides!") an half HippyTaxi (we'll be super dope BFFs forever! (at least until the end of this transactional ride)). What if transportation fractures like online communities fracture? Does each online message board get its own taxi service? That could potentially fix the quality problem since you would only be associating with people already like yourself. "MRA-only taxi service, hackernews-only taxi service, ..."
Know the most 'baller' way to travel around San Francisco? Spend an hour trying to get somewhere 5 miles away on public transit then focus on fixing the system itself. Don't try to elevate yourself above what you perceive to be the oh-so-dirty unwashed masses. Remember: melting-pot, not gilded tower.
Of course, all this people-taxi drama is time limited until we have self aware cars fulfilling our every transportation wish (let's just hope they don't get too clairvoyant).
