People are answering as if it’s widely known that a 4 star rating costs a driver $$$/week. I didn’t know this. I have given 4 stars thinking it was the equivalent of a B+

Yeah it’s not obvious unless you track the tech industry

That much is obvious from casual inspection and not a very interesting claim. Does your research show something counterintuitive/non-obvious, like that it is worse than no ratings or something (which would definitely surprise me)

People who rank less than 5 stars while knowing it will take $50 to $150 per week away from the driver are pieces of human waste. Here's a 4-star rating and a $5 tip, now, subtract $150 dollars because you didn't shine my shoes, too.

How long does the ding last? If a single 4-star can cost you weeks of $150 dips, then it is correctly reserved for seriously dangerous/crazy drivers who shouldn’t be on the road at all. That’s basically the only case I’d do a 4 for — if I think that person shouldn’t be driving

If they break major traffic rules like jump a red light or get into a race with someone I knock some points off.

I imagine the variance is much higher in India given generally higher level of traffic chaos?

If you give them less than 5 stars, it reduces their income, because the shitbags at Uber consider anything below 5 to be a complaint. This then reduces the driver's income by giving other drivers priority when responding to calls.

I’m fine with this. 90% ceremonial incentive feedback beats unaccountable drivers. This is why they’re generally cleaner and nicer than cabs. Uber’s ethics as a company are an orthogonal issue. The mechanism is sounder than no feedback.
