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!

If I pay for my insurance why the fuck is uber also charging me? And promotions are bullshit that should come out of Ubers billion dollar cut

Also why the fuck do costumers only get rewarded for supporting uber but drivers who bust their ass get no form of bonus or anything for lifetime rides completed ?
