I got skunked by the Uber Algorithm! Is over saturation the problem or does Uber put drivers in Time Outs due to declining too many rides?

Uber is Making Big Changes in California for Drivers! Is all this due to CA AB5?

To the UBER dentist?
It used to be unlimited passes not the bosses are pissed and log you off
Cleanup fee? Name the kid after the driver?
What's on neet about them turning my app off I'm supposed to be an independent contractor only employers do that kind of stuff.
There is no difference between the three ignoring declining or timing out of ping. All the same.
Nah, you're mistaken, that's UberBoat, they are going nationwide with it. If it sinks, you can always count on UberSubmarine. And once you surface, UberHelicolter will rescue you.
That can't happen since after 3 missed requests, Uber and Lyft turn it off for you. You'll just get a nastygram from U/L that you're missing a lot of requests. No big deal.
Or lack of thinking on the pax part, 😆
Desperate move in order to get deactivated?
Common sense right? Something that's lacking sorely in today's digital society.
First prick of the bubble at the end of August when AB5 passes.
Toppers will tip, most won't, has nothing to with the way they're dressed. Also on lower platforms pax don't feel like they need to tip, Select, Lux or Suv drivers get tipped almost every ride. Go figure!
Great news, hopefully you have learned something from this. Make sure they're crediting you the right amount, don't let them throw you crumbs or short change you! Be safe out there!
How about weed? Its legal in CA, once my account got put on hold for 48 hours because the previous passenger reeked of pot smell, the next passenger ended her ride early and wrote Uber complaining that I was smoking weed in the car. Sure enough Uber suspended my account until they did their investigation. Typical Uber style, shoot the driver first ask questions later.
Uber cars, Uber scooters, Uber boats, Uber helicopter, Uber submarine, Uber eats, Uber e-bikes?
And then you binge watch Netflix, you don't have to leave your couch. 😆
Like I said to Lilly, stupid is what stupid does, he's been deactivated already.
Oh they did unless he closed his bank account right after he scammed the pax. 😆
Stupid is what stupid does. That Uber driver wanted to get deactivated, he just had enough, go out with a bang. 😆
Wow, that's a new one. I'm still laughing, once the driver is done with Instant Pay, he'll go home, half way there, he'll be deactivated. 😆
Uber rating system gives all the power to the rider, Lyft's is much better, the only thing that's better on the Lyft platform.
Movie rights?
