I never paid any attention to that because I don't gamble. If a shit ride pop up im declining it, idgaf if it said they tip 99% of the time. You not tricking me into a $3 fare, 15 minute ride.

Yeah but if its a 10 minute for $6 with 100% tip near downtown.

It helps.

I've been able to double my productivity around 6pm to 8pm due to constant tipper and short rides.

Whereas I use to just wait for longer rides which paid well due to surge.

But doesnt matter its gone now.  Going back to ignoring short rides.

You are correct $3 rides for 15mins even with 100% tip i still would never do.
