I've seen noticed so many high voted anti-Uber stories across so many media channels recently - I can't help but suspect there is something more going on here

there are plenty of other companies pushing boundaries in other areas not getting near as much negative PR right now

I don't use Uber but I know many who consistently do without ever having a negative word to say about them



Users aren't complaining, workers are. I sincerely encourage you to talk to some of their "contractors".

When we freelance, we expect higher wages due to insecurity, having to pay employers share of taxes, having to pay for benefits. Compare that with these workers.

Uber is cheap because their workers are subsidizing it.


You might want to clarify what "use uber" means.

If you're just talking about customers who eventually benefit from people being paid low salaries, it's not really a good point of comparison.


it wasn't a specific comment about the article - but volume of Uber related articles currently in the media generally


I have noticed this as well. I honestly think people just hate uber now. Too many scandals.
