and who do you think is paying for your cheap Lyft trips? Does not matter which ride sharing company you use right now. It is all VC money. Stop the whole Lyft has higher ethical moral ground BS. It is all about capitalism and supply demand.

Supposedly Lyft is on its way to profitability [1]. Twitter is still not yet profitable, but it shouldn't stop me from using the service if I find it useful.

Mostly my own contribution, and partially VC money.

Of course you should not stop using it if you prefer it. It was implied here that only uber rides were cheaper because of VC money. Which is not the case. Same applies for Lyft.
