I often reply with a thumbs up when given something that I need to review, as a confirmation that I'll action it later.
Those third-party apps, in his eyes, aren't adding much value to the platform.
What is adding value? I care about 2 things. First, the content. Second, the user interface. Reddit isn't producing the content, the community is. And the interface Reddit provides isn't great, especially on mobile. If the community is pulling their content, I've got no reason to stick around.
- Making its "Delivery Fee" seem related to distance or demand, even though none of it goes to the delivery person.
Doesn't matter how Doordash pays their employees. This seems fine.
- Offering an "Express" option that implies faster delivery, but then changing the wording to "Priority" in billing so it is not held to delivery times.
Does the word "express" really provide an SLA?
- Charging an "Expanded Range Delivery" fee that seems based on distance but is really based on a restaurant's subscription level and demand.
Seems reasonable to charge extra for high-demand areas. Is the wording really a problem?
- Adding an undisclosed 99 cent "marketing fee," paid by the customer rather than the restaurant, to promote menu items that customers add to their carts.
Okay, that one seems like a problem.
- Obscuring minimum order amounts attached to its "zero-fee" DashPass memberships and coupon offers.
Isn't this fairly common standard practice? There's usually fine print to protect against abuse.
- Generally manipulating DashPass subscriptions to appear like substantial savings, when the company is "engineering" fees to seem reduced.
Unless they're actually lying, this seems like common standard practice. Where in that list is the claim it's specific to iPhone users?
If employers could slash wages 20% they would do it immediately.
There's nothing stopping employers implementing a 32 hour work week right now. The law is setting a maximum.
Pay isn't determined by hours worked or productivity, it's set by the market rate and minimum wage.
The minimum wage is an hourly rate. Pay is most definitely defined by hours worked.
