Doctorow's saying the opposite about Uber.

* Uber offers cheap ride through a cnvenient app and lets drivers keep a lot (?) of the rewards

* Drives taxies out of business

* Uber raises prices and lowers drivers' rewards

* Now more expensive and less reliable than ever

He built a whole economic theory around it, even coined a name for it: Enshitification.
