Well yeah, that completely changes things. The comment I responded doesn't exactly make that clear though does it?

>It is "right" to provide an honest rating. What you seem to be saying is that it is the rider's duty to provide dishonest ratings.

That seems to me a staunch defense of doing what you want to do regardless of how it affects the driver.

My comment was intended to point out that the rating system is inherently dishonest. It was not intended to indicate what I would or wouldn't do when rating.

From reading the comments here, though, I think I know what I'll do: opt out of the whole thing and avoid ride-sharing services in the future.

Come on, you have to be pretty fucking naive to assume any large publicly traded corporation is going to to be honest with users or employees.

I wasn't assuming that. I was assuming that the riders and the drivers would generally be honest, though.
