Is uber not profitable?
unlike other comments, I'd argue, like most tech, it was incredibly profitable for anyone except the people funding it.
Business is not about extracting money from goods and services, it's about tricking VC funders to give you 50 million dollars a year
Hilariously unprofitable. They even came up with creative accounting to show how, despite never being profitable they may turn a profit if you don't count their debts and losses.
Uber's true business model isn't in place yet. Eventually, all cars will be self-driving, and they can ditch the drivers. The ultimate objective is to replace personal car ownership with a driving service.
Once they don't have to pay drivers, and they have monthly fees coming in from millions of subscribers, they'll clean up.
I think you're wrong on this one.
Currently uber does not own anything. Repair costs are for the drivers. Buying a car is for the drivers.
If they are not profitable now, replacing driver's "wage" will only make it more expensive.

Their whole business model is "wait for self driving and then $$$" as they'll no longer have to pay anybody.

rent a girlfriend?
Dude there’s probably a business in that. People typically just get hookers for that weird situation where a rich powerful man has to go to an event and bring a plus one, and he can’t find a woman who doesn’t hate him so he has to rent one by the hour.
Make it an app. Fuck it. Lets let the business majors ruin that too.
They usually get escorts, which actually isn't the same thing as a hooker and not all of them actually do sex work. I have no idea why I know anything about that, but it was something I was just kinda aware of as a young adult.
"not all of them actually do sex work" is one of those fictions that everyone on all sides is happy to play along with.
I've always understood it to be more "sex isn't guaranteed if you're a big enough asshole and sometimes they're a beard"

"Drop off" makes it sound like he'll carry you.
Did not expect Uber entering to pimp industry.
Is this real? I wouldn't be surprised
Nah, just a meme.
