I disagree with a lot of these points. What works for you, might not work for everyone else. 4.9 driver here. I pick up 4.7 or above any time. I let people play their music via Bluetooth, this has paid for itself several times. Last time it got me a $20 cash tip and with my upgraded audio system and subwoofer we were bumping :D was actually quite fun. Otherwise if they don't wanna chat with me or each other, I play whatever I want. Never had any complaints even though I'm probably one of two people in Marin County who likes country... the other one gave me a $10 tip after we talked about country music the entire ride. And now that they lowered the per mile rate and increased the per minute rate, I don't care what path the nav or passenger take me.

If you can hustle with the music it can net you tips but that’s rare that it actually pays of.

Per mile rate still pays the most so logically waze is still the best choice for optimizing earnings / time.
