Something would eventually take their place. The strain would be temporary.

But the second you steal money from them, youll be only trial for your life pretty darn quick.

Gotta go further and deeper then that too. There are other, larger and more diverse companies that are hiding in plain site behind the more popular business like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc…

THIS IS IT. All other comments in this thread that don’t say this are focusing on the wrong problem or are flat out wrong.

Focusing on the wrong issue, but you’re technically correct. You’re not tipping. You’re guessing at what door dash should be properly paying their employees instead of DD doing it themselves in your favor.

You’re more likely to not receive your food then someone tamper with your food.

Yeah but that’s the problem. They’re essentially outsourcing something they couldn’t afford in the first place so DD becomes the bad guy for not paying their employees instead. Then the customer bitches at the driver’s because the drivers don’t want shitty pay for their work. Stop using DD.

That’s about what they make with tips and an hourly pay for doing the task. Instead DD has created the system where that responsibility falls on the customer buying food.

You’re upset at the wrong person/thing.

Stop attacking the drivers. If you’re upset about how door dash works, get upset at DOOR DASH itself, not the people they can’t seem to pay properly.

Stop using the service…

While it’s called a TIP, it’s not. Nor is it a bribe imo. It’s “door dash is too lazy to pay their driver’s a fair rate, so here is where you come in…” The higher the amount you put in there, the more likely your order will be received And delivered in a timely manner.

If door dash just paid their people properly, this issue wouldn’t exist but they feel the need to maximize their profits instead of doing what’s right for both their employee and customers.

Fuck it. I’ll just say this instead. It’s time to break up the tech monopolies. Google, Microsoft, etc.

If they have it, direct support is the best way. Like Patreon for instance.

You’d be surprised how things can change, and quickly. It’s not going to be a overnight win for another platform. It’s going to have to start from the ground up, in probably a decentralized way, but it can happen.

We don’t know that yet. I dislike Kotick as well, but doubtful that much changes from the monetization standpoint of the company.

From a purely morale standpoint, it’s mostly a W. But it’s not like Kotick isn’t getting his golden parachute and wiping his tears away with $100 bills.

No I’m saying, imo, they’re wasting a lot of energy on trying to get adblock users to stop using adblockers. Just my take, is all.

They’re serving ads just fine. They’re now targeting those that don’t want the ads and actively try to avoid them. That’s the main difference.

Issues like these will spur action though. I’m excited to see what comes out to compete.

Plenty of ways. Targeting your most intensive tech crowd is not the way to do it. You want the masses that don’t actively try and block their stupid ads. This will eventually bite them in the ass harder then it’s currently doing.

We’ve replaced Kotick with Microsoft lol
