I am not entirely sure I understand this one.
If you dont like the business model, which I dont, dont use their app in the first place.
If everyone quit using it, the Uber stock (when it goes public) would tank. -
the app preys on the mathematically challenged, your cost out weigh the income. Just like trucking they don’t pay enough move on.
Complaining will not do anything as you said crowbar voting with not willingly working for them will have far greater impact. This is stupid to complain either go to boss and ask for more or quit it’s a free market.

There is no boss.
The company eliminated any degree of middle management.
It is all automated, or on-line only.
Get a pay discrepancy, call a number, talk to someone (English is not their first language), get the run around, might get the pay issue resolved. But, according to the interview I heard, that usually takes a good hour or so.
That is the company paradigm. Automate as much as possible, eliminate actual humans, exploit the workers or off-shore the work to low labor markets.
More and more money is being poured into AI, automation to eliminate more and more actual human work force. -
If they used ai you would not have esl issues.
There is always a boss.

I would ask the same question I ask whenever I read where workers are protesting their pay – “Didn’t you know what the job paid when you took the job?”. I view both Uber and Lyft as part-time work. My youngest was an Uber driver. He only did it when well-attended events were scheduled in the area in order to supplement his income. I can’t imagine anyone relying on it as a single income source. As a one time supervisor myself, people would beg you for a job, then after hiring you had to beg them to do the job!
