Uber is making some really stupid business decisions lately. It's very annoying.

The built a great business model with great pricing no one complained about. Then slashed their prices, alienating their good drivers and providing a worse experience both for the rider and the driver.

So dumb.

Yeah, I really don't understand what they're trying to accomplish in this market. They were advertising hard to get more drivers signed up, and then slashed rates right after. I guess they're thinking they'll rope in new drivers while screwing those that are used to the better rates, and the new people will stick it out?

There's also some program that some people (high rated, tenured drivers) have gotten into to guarantee their rates to the pre slashed level if they meet certain criteria.
