Valdez states, "It's gotten harder and harder to make money," reflecting the challenges faced by rideshare drivers due to fluctuating fares and increasing company cuts.
"Since 2022, Uber and Lyft have wielded opaque algorithms that seem to incorporate data collected on workers to determine pay for each ride," highlighting the lack of transparency in their compensation model.
The narrative unfolds as drivers complain of varying payouts for the same rides, pointing to a system that surveils workers and utilizes desperation to depress pay.
Valdez recalls, "I used to receive an approximately 80 percent cut of each ride fare that he said was 'relatively fair,'" emphasizing the significant change in earnings drivers face.
