Its funny because when ride sharing first came out -- everyone had a great experience for the most part (early adopters/risk takers). Then the long tail (and VC growth money disappeared) came around and the pay got worse, job was a grind and the quality tanked.

I don't doubt that we will have the same thing with all these new options. Maybe the social baggage won't be there but there will be weird new things that pop up...

As well as the prices, wait times and ubiquity.

I’m not saying it’s a panacea. But I don’t think most people want to go back to when Uber was only black cars.

When it first came out you didn't have people working it full time. It would be like dads making side money after the kid was put to bed.
