A comment on Can Uber ever make money?. Parent comment
Assuming you can get everyone to adhere to regulations etc..
Then Uber could be seen as a marketplace connecting drivers and riders - and there is material value in that.
And it doesn't have to be a lot for Uber to make money.
Not $100B valuation money, but money.
And there are de-facto network effects, brand etc. that play into that.
Lyft and Uber might not be worth their valuation, but there's value add there.
