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