My most accelerationist take is we should cheer this on forever to get an ever app-changing service industry kept afloat by VC money to pay for shit. I feel like if you play this right you could basically get the "good" Uber forever. Once Uber tanks, you get Nuber, once that tanks, you get New-Nuber etc.
Basically I'm proposing a system of relocation of money via VC until we hit FALGSOC
A lot of people do that with cell phone providers, they switch to a different one every time their introductory price ends and then they start a new introductory price.
The thing is ISPs and Telco providers aren't kept afloat by VC-Money. It just makes business sense to them to do that because they figure x% doesn't switch and then gives them money. What I'm saying is that option should not exist, registration should be VC-floated App easy and then we continue into $3 uber rides forever, where the driver also gets paid appropiately (don't hate me I know Uber never really did this), I don't pay much, but Peter Thiel does. I want Elon Musk to pay for my ride home from the bar and I want him to lose asstons of money on it, before he is replaced by the next idiot, who also loses asstons of money on it, until we have distributed all the failsons wealth
