I don't feel bad if Uber takes a bigger hit. Earlier, I loved the potential of Uber to make transportation better but it hasn't materialized (for me at least). I had an "animal farm" feeling about Uber when I was trying to find a ride from the airport around midnight. They would match me, then cancel the ride and then match me to a ride at a higher rate. This went on for an hour and I eventually paid the same as I was paying for a cab before. At least with a cab, I could have reached home quicker. So as a consumer, I lost in every way. Yes, I hate the cab drivers and their behaviors but Uber wasn't any better for my particular situation.

I have also had similar experiences with UberPool. I was charged extra because the route was longer. It wasn't worth for me to complain about $10 but I stopped using UberPool later.

I have tried food delivery a couple of times and the extra cost was so expensive that I just didn't feel like it was worth it. I get that they need to charge a certain amount for the service to be sustainable/profitable. I didn't find it to be worth it.

They also played a lot of games with the Amex Platinum credits. So I closed the Amex Platinum card as well. It was not worth playing the games to save $15 a month.
