There is no evidence that Uber was systemically losing money per ride instead of at edge cases. Share your evidence please. | ||

> Share your evidence please. This is an impossible ask unless one works at Uber. I can tell you that i saw how much they were spending on ads back in 2016, and how long it continued and can assure you that they were 100% losing money back then. Like, even now their margin is around 10% (they made 5bn on 50bn of revenue). Other software companies make a much, much, much better margin because Uber is basically not a real software business, it's an app attached to a low-margin delivery business. | ||
