People talk like the original passenger in this story went on a vendetta against this one guy - even claiming they doxed him, which they absolutely did not do The original post was the exact opposite, it said they'd had this happen FIVE TIMES IN ONE TRIP and was a pattern

And was not "personal", even though they had every right to be personally angry with the individuals who chose to treat them badly It's a pattern of societal discrimination, and the original post was trying to make that point

It's also worth noting that the video didn't "get the guy fired" The guy got fired because of the complaint sent through the app The video was to tell people what happened and try to keep this from happening in the future

It is a pretty well known fact among people who actually drive for Uber or hang out with people who do that many many people do it as a part time job to make extra cash This is WHY it's a brutal job for people who have no choice but to try to do it as a full time occupation

Fulltimers hate parttimers and longtimers hate shorttimers, because it drives wages down, drives expectations of quality down and drives down any sense of solidarity in the workforce It's where they got the people from to cut the Yes on 22 ads
