Can I add to my rider profile that gratuity is dependent on not talking to me?
I had an Uber driver a couple of weeks ago in Tuscaloosa, which I'm not familiar with at all, that got me talking football and by the time we got done with the 3 mile trip it was $20, dude knew what he was doing. Got a credit for the extra mileage and time but Uber sucks

It doesn't work that way. You lose money the longer the rider is in your car. It's all about the shortest route from Point A to B. If a driver takes a wrong turn, then he pays for it with his time he could be picking up someone else.
What you got was surge pricing. That's how they make their money, not by taking you on a long route. This also makes much of Ubering during afternoon rush hour a waste of time due to the fact that almost everyone drives to work and you're caught in traffic for a while, and only get about 7 bucks being caught in traffic for an hour.
