Wouldn’t / shouldn’t this heavily penalize you? Like, what I want to optimize for is that when there’s little Uber capacity and many requests, that I get prioritized and get put as close to the front of the queue as possible. Which is why I tend to stick to just one app (Uber), and try to have a high rating.
But idk if it’s doing anything. At least back when Uber had tiers (platinum / diamond) it was more obvious the perks you get with more use (like with airlines), but now that they dropped those I’m feeling less inclined to keep using just Uber vs a mix of all apps and picking cheapest.
The system cannot penalize the working party in the same way it penalizes the paying party, if you are an easy customer whi never complain, always seem satisfied, would ride anyway no matter how high is the current rate, we might as well assign you any driver.
If you are a difficult customer who is rarely satisfied and complain of most inconveniences, you will get the better drivers.
Because simply, the algorthm is prioritizing sales, not nice and chill riders.
