Uber Is Doomed

this story has been submitted before [1] and it appears to be killed or shadow-killed each time (although I could be wrong). I can see why. It&#x27;s a sensationalist news piece with many unfounded assertions and general mischaracterizations. For example, UberX is lumped in with flying cars as an example of the founder&#x27;s supposed lack of focus. UberX was a huge part of what made Uber successful. Likewise, autonomy is widely considered the next phase in rides on demand, so it is hardly &quot;scatterbrainedness&quot; in action. There is an attempt to cover Susan Fowler&#x27;s allegations, but sloppily, it leaves it implied that the manager has only solicited female engineers for sex once (whereas her claims are that he has done this many times, both before and after her own incident). It&#x27;s a super low-quality article, but attention-grabbing enough to have half a million pageviews already.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?query=uber%20is%20doomed%20&amp;sort=byPopularity&amp;prefix&amp;page=0&amp;dateRange=all&amp;type=story" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?query=uber%20is%20doomed%20&amp;sort=byP...</a>

Does Uber pays its drivers more than it collects in fairs? Am I missing something. I thought Uber kept 30% of fairs.
