It’s literally the same playbook as all the other shitty tech companies.
Uber had very generous offers and was totally worth it at first, until they choked out the existing cab market. Then they started exploiting drivers and customers.
AirBnb was a great option at first, until they choked out the existing vacation rental/hostel/hotel market. Then they started exploiting hosts and guests.
Hell, even here in Germany we had this pretty neat new Grocery service called Flink. It started somewhere around Covid and at first it was absolutely great. Super fast delivery and generous “20€ off on orders over 30€” coupons. As soon as they got a solid grip on the market and people got used to it they raised prices, cut all good promotions and their drivers honestly look super miserable nowadays.
What I’m saying is, you really have to be a sucker to fall for this scheme over and over again with every new tech company that comes along.
