Why’s that a problem for the companies though?

If your company decides on a PR stunt on 5th avenue by spraying the streets full of dollar bills, creating a riot, I'm pretty sure you're liable.
They end up paying more to recovery people than they're earning from people renting the things and after a few recoveries, more than the scooters are worth.
Why does it cost you more if people are competing? I think you only pay the successful one.
