I didn’t say there are no repercussions. I said it is a safe bet on a risk that many individuals are willing to make.
Breaking the agreement does not always mean you will get in trouble for it. This is the one rule that can be risked breaking without facing repercussions.
Likely prohibitively expensive, will take a long af time to reach wider markets and most likely never pass trials
All my predictions
Some people’s internet and hard drives would be crippled by this. It’s to promote multitasking mostly. There are ways to download videos that I won’t get into, but it is possible if you desperately want to buffer the whole video. I do think it’s stupid to lock offline video downlaods behind a subscription paywall, but I am small fry and will do what I can.
As someone who did uber and lyft, let me tell you that these algorithm are exceptionally fine tuned to meet $/hr over long term driving. In my area, it is tuned to hit close to 20/hr ± 4 dollars/hr. You bet that on some trips uber is taking larger percentage vs other trips to meet this target. This is clearly how their system works to squeeze every dollar out of both drivers and clients.
Note: this is with OR without doing promotions and specials.
Those algorithms will try their best to get you out of profitable areas and stick you with low pay rides once you pass this 20/hr threshold. Especially if you are doing promotions, as they know that you will more than likely meet this target $/hr mark.
