Given that Uber was once caught booking (and canceling) thousands of fake rides on Lyft -- seems perfectly plausible.

If your perceptions of the world are based on the idea that everything that happens once must be happening all the time everywhere well, good luck not getting eaten by Cocaine Bear.

Besides, Uber’s attack on Lyft there was direct. The idea that someone would poison Glassdoor reviews if a competitor in the hopes of making it harder to hire good people who looked at Glassdoor, in the hopes that not having those particular people would weaken the competitor in the long run… it’s risible.


How you went from “seems plausible” to “this man must believe Cocaine Bear is happening repeatedly” is an impressive leap.

Aside, I think your post highlights why commenting on the internet is so painful. All I‘ve done is highlight a factual anecdote w/ attribution, without speaking negatively of anyone, and you saw it necessary to denigrate my intelligence.

I think your point about Glassdoor reviews vs. rideshare cancellations works fine without the accompanying commentary.
