  • - What's up, YouTube?

  • It's Jermaine with another video.

  • In this video, I'm gonna show you guys how

  • Uber just purposely lies to its new drivers.

  • Okay?

  • Now, I'm just making this video

  • because I'm just pissed off.

  • I'm no longer a UberX driver.

  • It's just something I no longer wanna do.

  • I don't wanna be on a string anymore.

  • I feel that Uber just has me on a string.

  • Like they play with prices.

  • One day I make $300, next day I make $75,

  • the next day I make $92.

  • Like, it's just annoying, you know?

  • It's very up and down.

  • And I've been a driver for more than two years

  • and I'm just over it.

  • But this is what really pisses me off right here.

  • Right now, in the Bay Area.

  • Okay guys, this is what Uber is doing now.

  • You see this map here?

  • Well, if you look right here,

  • this is the San Francisco airport, okay?

  • Now, there's an agreement with Uber and the airport,

  • so the airport never surges, okay?

  • You will never pick up a surge ride from the airport.

  • But if you look closely at this map,

  • the area around the airport is surging, okay?

  • If you're a new driver, if you don't know the ropes,

  • if you don't know how to play this game properly,

  • what's gonna happen is you're gonna go down there

  • and you're gonna think, "Oh, I can get a 5.8."

  • And you know what?

  • You won't get a 5.8.

  • You're gonna get a regular fare from the airport,

  • because the airport has an agreement

  • with Uber that they will not surge at the airport, okay?

  • That's a 5.6 surge.

  • Now here's another one.

  • This is a eight x surge, okay?

  • Now the airport does not surge.

  • This is the area near the airport.

  • So what they're doing is they're

  • getting drivers, new drivers, from all over the Bay,

  • to come to the airport and pick up

  • because there's so many drivers now that are offline.

  • There are so many drivers that are waking up

  • and they are figuring out that

  • this is the biggest scam that they've

  • ever signed up for in their life, okay?

  • There are a lot of people out

  • that are just not driving anymore

  • and I give it up to you guys.

  • I'm not doing it either myself.

  • Uber owes me money for my links

  • in my Youtube videos that I've never gotten paid for

  • and I am not gonna promote this company anymore.

  • I do not wanna make anymore Uber videos.

  • I will probably make a few more videos to help people,

  • but I do not wanna promote Uber anymore.

  • It's just downright dirty.

  • It's cruel, you know.

  • I still will do UberRUSH, because it's totally different.

  • I'm gonna do UberRUSH until they end the hourly guarantee.

  • Soon as they do that, I'm off the platform.

  • But anyway, guys.

  • Just, what do you guys think about this?

  • I mean, I know there's a lot of new

  • drivers out watching this video.

  • How would you feel if you saw a surge that was eight x

  • and it was a trick?

  • You know, you're thinking,

  • "Oh, I'm gonna get an eight x surge.

  • "I'm gonna make decent money."

  • But no.

  • You're not even gonna get a two x surge.

  • You're gonna get a no surge.

  • Because I'll tell you something about this area.

  • I'll tell you something about this area of San Francisco.

  • People that live down here, they're not gonna pay eight x.

  • No.

  • People that live way down here in Hillsborough,

  • they will, because Hillsborough is really expensive,

  • but people in Hillsborough, they don't have to take UberX,

  • you know?

  • They can probably got their own drivers.

  • It's very, very expensive down here.

  • But it's this area here where they surge,

  • just near the airport.

  • I'll show you here too a little more on this map.

  • The airport's just right here

  • and they're surging all the way around there.

  • So if you're a new driver, that's how they can trick you.

  • They can get you to drive all the way up from San Jose

  • or they can get you to drive, you know, from San Francisco,

  • or they can get you to drive from Oakland,

  • because you gotta think,

  • when people go recruit drivers,

  • drivers live in all sorts of, they live all over the Bay,

  • so it's just another trick that Uber's

  • doing to make more money for themselves

  • and make sure drivers make less money.

  • Okay?

  • Alright, not I'm not saying you guys should go quit.

  • I'm not saying that you guys should,

  • you know, go start a riot.

  • I'm just making this video to throw that out there,

  • that Uber is tricking drivers.

  • Alright.

  • Thanks a lot for watching, guys.

  • Sorry to deliver bad news today.

  • Like this video, give me a thumbs up.

  • If you wanna see more videos like this, subscribe

  • and definitely leave me comments below.

  • And guys, please share this video

  • so that new drivers will be aware.
