This is terrible, if you tip within the app, it just subsidizes the company (company substitutes your tip for pay) without providing an extra money for the worker.
1-US tipping laws/customs really should change (this is how restaurants operate too, iirc).
2-Tip in cash

Somewhat confusing for restraurants. With this app, though, according to the story, it's formalized: tips are cannibalized into pay.

As a Dane living in the US for a year I am still really baffled by the tipping culture here. It feels like just another way of masking the real price of a product or service. Salaries should be part of the price.

like many US customs, the practice originated among the British aristocracy and was mimicked by rich Americans it's a class thing - giving a little extra money to servants to demonstrate how wealthy you are and how noble and generous you are to your class inferiors

it's also no coincidence that the practice started taking off soon after the Civil War ended. newly-freed slaves, whose employment prospects were extremely limited due to deep racism, often ended up being hired to work for tips instead of salary. so it's also a racism thing

Tipping culture is also moving into Danish restaurants. I have very mixed feelings about that.

My point exactly. And not in the waiters’ best interest
