Links to comments where I've shilled for them? I generally try to refrain on commenting on Uber except occasionally to add simple factual corrections, such as the one about Salle Yoo being promoted to CLO.

What I am happy to comment on however is disclosing which of the commenters critical of Uber are critical because they have an undisclosed conflict of interest, such as yourself.

I am critical of Uber because they are a terrible company made up of apathetic investors and employees; if I were to sell all of my Tesla shares today, I would still do everything in my power to burn Uber to the ground and leave nothing but ash.

All the more reason for everyone reading your Uber comments on HN to completely discount them by default every time. You're not participating on HN in good faith.

I'm not saying that Uber doesn't deserve some criticism. It does. So do other tech companies (like Tesla) and even non-tech companies. There's nothing particularly special about Uber with respect to these industry-wide and society-wide problems.

The only difference between Uber and other companies is that it's far far more profitable for outrage porn journalists to write articles with Uber in the headline than any other company.
