If Lyft and Uber are doing this then I genuinely applaud them. That's astounding ingenuity in screwing over their customers. True innovators.

The people making the big bucks in Silicon Valley are often the people really good at understanding psychology and manipulating people’s behavior.

I honestly would have never thought of this either. I’m one of those traditional losers who thinks providing a good value/service at a sustainable margin is a good way to run a business.

Good way to run a long term business, sure. Good way to win at capitalism, no.

Meh. Facebook serves beauty ads to female teens that recently deleted selfies.
