There are so many alternatives to Uber that are better, safer, and even cheaper that there will never be a need to use Uber and they will never get any trust. The people up-top there have been so thoroughly evil for so long and the damage they have done so great that I have no interest trusting them ever again.
Edit: You downvoters have downvoted me so much I'm no longer allowed to reply or otherwise talk on HN. Goodbye.
There was a time when there was a lot of animosity towards Microsoft, but over the years, younger people that had not been exposed to the drama grew up with a more neutral stance, and many many years of not-really-dramatic developments means that nowadays, people only really think of Microsoft as the company behind MS Office, XBox, etc and not so much about what its ethics framework looks like. Obviously you can still see people referring to it as M$ and similar and making fun on windows users, but it certainly isn't _common_ for average people to outright _hate_ Microsoft on ethical grounds.
Uber, Microsoft, Enron, Blackwater, Comcast, Oracle, all get plenty of hate, even from non techies.
My intention here is not to go into details, which would not be appropriate for me as an engineer that doesn’t work on those aspects. I am only saying we care a lot about this.
