You know Uber started out as this and then switched to upfront pricing right?

Yes. They A/B tested and the flat fee model was more popular. The new directive is to increase margins, and the variable model is better at that.

I can’t name sources, but it should be pretty evident just based on the new CEO public messages by now?
