    I'm pretty sure the $70 I got on Monday morning for driving someone to the airport, is a bit more than minimum wage ($18).

  Pretty sure Uber was offering driver signup incentives of $400-800 with referral from a current driver. $70 seems a terrible deal, its a significant amount of work to get your car inspected and do the paperwork all for $70.

    Time-wise assuming you aren't that far from an inspection site it's actually not too much effort.

    On the note of the sign-up incentives of $400-800 previously, it's not really relevant if they're no longer attainable.

    But having said that, with a driver referral of $100, it makes more sense to just get a driver referral (although arguably more effort - you need to complete 20 trips within 90 days).

    The way they run their business is a joke… Lining the pockets of politicians to get their way.

    I doubt it, they get too much funding.

    Worse case scenario they restructure the business and keep things simple.

    The business model is very profitable if they stop burning money on random things.

      They are nowhere near being profitable. What 'random things' are you talking about?

        The original business plan of driver and passengers is very profitable, which is why they could raise insane amounts of money from investors.

        Instead of having that and making a slow profit, they have decided to become the next Google/Microsoft/Tesla.

        To do that they are expanding into hundreds of different areas of technology, hiring insane amounts of staff, throwing money around for results and overall just throwing money at the wall to see what sticks.

        This is all because they want to be the next Google.

        If however they just wanted the original taxi service and maybe even Uber Eats, it would already be profitable.

        @samfisher5986:

        They've raised massive amounts of money because their growth/penetration has been good. That's because they've offered subsidies to penetrate the market, get the public onside to overcome regulatory resistance, and kept building that growth trajectory. That's what has pulled investors in as they see massive scale opportunity - like Amazon/Google.

        And to support that their vision is driverless cars to get rid of the driver cost. That's why they are still spending on further research, aside from their subsidies to grow and overcome resistance. So they've spent a lot of money and will continue to.

        Their original business plan was not just driver and passengers, and they've never sat at that point to be "very profitable". And indeed there are competitors in that who have not done as well - which you'd expect they would if the business model was profitable of itself.

        @odysseus:

        Well said.

        I'm just pointing out that this is all their choice, if they wanted to be profitable today, they could have.

    It's crazy to think it's still valued at $70 billion.

  Acorns is almost as bad as Uber. You are paying them to invest your own money in EFT's. Just do it yourself.

• 

  Tiggrrrrr on 11/08/2017 - 12:33

  You can still get a $100 referral bonus elsewhere, so why on earth would you settle for $70 of Acorns? This deal is nuts

  (Source: just asked my friend who drives for Uber about driver referral and he says it WAS $200 now $100)
