I noticed the same thing about my family in Phoenix who has nothing to do with the tech industry. They think they're very savvy for having the Uber app and knowing how to use it. In fact my uncle was bragging about some uber benefit he gets via his amex platinum card.

They've never heard of Lyft and don't know anything about any Uber controversy other than the fact that 'taxi drivers hate it!"

Everyone I know gets an "uber" regardless of whether they're using Lyft, Uber, or any other ride sharing service which is not a taxi.

Great! Now let's get out there and educate, because Uber is truly a disgusting organization at the top. I am sure once they have died, their engineers can find spots at Lyft as something will need to pick up the void, so no need to worry there Uber devs reading this.

Actually, pretty much everyone at the top already left Uber about six months ago or so

Just because you want them to “die” doesn’t mean they will.

In fairness, it’s a great benefit.
