Why is this a very controversial topic?
I also don't know if ithas other factors, like region, number of rides, etc..
If you are a difficult customer who is rarely satisfied and complain of most inconveniences, you will get the better drivers.
Because simply, the algorthm is prioritizing sales, not nice and chill riders.
It doesn't work everytime btw.
Yes, that is why "I like how people [in comments] are keen to change the world", I don't want everyone to be as lazy as I am.
> Refusing to give good reviews harms the drivers who are already barely scraping by. This is a very good example of how you can cause real world harm with by trying to game the system for yourself.
No uber rider owe feedback at all, even if there is no gain of skipping it..
I would understand your argument if I were giving negative feedback on purpose for good drivers, which I consider a false testimony and a lie, but every user have all the right to skip reviewing, owing no more than the ride fees.
> but let people have their principles.
I believe I did..?
I would prefer not to harm the driver, unless he was a dick or was driving a garbage can, I would then rate it 1-star with a clear conscience.
I set pick up and destination, exit the app, open another rides app, wait few minutes for uber to notify me that the price went down.
I only give it initials (instead of full name) and phone number, not even my gender, I rarely rate drivers positively, if it is not a negative experience, I skip reviewing, so they don't know I "like" the service.
When it takes more than a minute to find a ride, I cancel the ride and choose the "others" option, as this is the de-facto the option for "I will just take a cab", so I get inserted on the "churn risk" list.
I use a virtual card that I some time leave empty so payment fail after the ride, and on the next ride I readjust my virtual card limit on the next ride and pay the last bill so I am added on the "poor and miserable riders" list.
I am well protected
And Pyramids are way more simple than human brain.
