    I kinda figured the food delivery services would end up operating this way. Number must go up, and the only two groups they can squeeze that from are customers and drivers.

      There’s stuff they charge the restaurants for too. They manage to take from all three parties of a transaction while contributing the least value.

      Are we going to pretend they aren’t all doing shit like this? I guessed as much and I have never used “ride-sharing” apps or delivery apps because they’re inherently exploitative.
