When I started using Uber a few years ago, I was thrilled.
Their app was so much more convenient than regular taxi service, and the drivers seemed a lot nicer while also offering cheaper rides.
But after some time and talks with disappointed drivers, I found out what was behind the fuss: an ugly business model coupled with unfair working conditions.
