This is why people hate modern tech companies. They don't optimize for efficiency and providing the best service, they optimize for profit in 500 different messed up manipulative ways. I don't want to have a 'social credit score' to manage while on vacation in the form of my AirBnB rating. I don't want to gamify between two apps to get a ride. But tech says 'do it or we'll exploit you'.
Modern tech business models make you pay a tax to not waste mental energy on their BS games and it gets exhausting. So you stop and resent the companies for ripping you off/manipulating you. I hope that frustrations comes back to bite them and instead of being special darlings with regulation carveout's they become the most regulated industry.
