there is likely more to the story - the volume of negative stories across all mediums really stinks - I fully expect it to come out that negativity was heavily funded at some point

I get some newsworthy things have happened there - but you'd expect that with such explosive/disruptive growth story

I know a lot of people who use Uber - they love the service - and it's become a verb - the online/media profile I see of the company has no resemblance to how everyone I interact with see it irl
