I have a Chassidish friend who is a car service driver and is also an Uber driver, don't know which one is his main Parnassah though
Ask him which takes a bigger %

The people who are willing to whitelist a site they benefit from and shows unobtrusive ads so they can benefit the owner.
I'm assuming most sites people go on are ones they benefit from, and most ads are there to benefit the owner.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

But are the ads unobtrusive?

Many of those sites have ads that can serve up malware or are just simply way over the top.
We should support a "visually" clean ad internet environment, something along the lines of these standards: https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads

a better question would've been "why don't more heimish guys drive for uber?"

My guess is the simplest answer is if a heimish guy wants to drive for $ it's generally more worth it for him to do it for a heimish car service.

Some guys are private drivers for the rich. Make a whole lot more that way.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

I think the main reason is a CAR..
Yup, to drive for uber you gotta OWN a car (or rent for crazy expensive), and heimishe people can't own a car.. they have to lease!  :)

Can't believe no one said because Uber has ratings ;)
Also, they added tipping to make up for how hard it is to make money, so the riders can pay more.

Now, if you don't tip, it's probably a matter of time until you have a bad ride rating...

Drivers rating you happens before they find out if you tipped or not (unless you use cash).
