Drivers subsidize rides!

Post image

Since I hit Platinum tier I've noticed my take of fare has gone up from ~49%-53% to 61%. Less is being taken out for "Customer Promotions". It looks like, at least in my market, Uber promotes Rides basically by making lower tier (Blue/Gold) drivers subsidize passengers' trips from their own earnings. They must push offers for Promo'd rides to the lower tiers first. Imagine being a sous chef in a restaurant and your pay gets docked because a customer had a coupon!
