Seems like they're learning a hard lesson on unit economics. We're somehow at a point where companies are burning cash to provide low service fees, and now they need to become profitable.
When there's nothing left to optimize, the way to become profitable is to either pay drivers less or charge customers more, and customers are not down to pay more.
