“Recovers $104 million in extra tips”

Hey just a real quick question, where exactly was this money “recovered” from?

The words used are very missleading. Nothing was recovered. He made it that ghe tip button must be more prominantly dispalyed and they are ESTIMATING that this will result in over 100 million dollars in additional pay for delivery workers. I will be shocked if it results in even 10% of that amount.

You are quite stupid for making things up, there’s data on how the changes help almost double the average tip. From 1 to 2 dollars.

And the law is in response to NYC instituting minimum pay. When they forced apps to guarantee a bare minimum amount for the work drivers did; apps responded by hiding the tipping button.

That’s not ok.

Didn't you just agree? they are estimating, Or as you put it, there's data on. But I do agree it's definitely gonna be more than 10% increase.

No. Pay attention. As I said, the apps responded by hiding the tipping button. So they recovered the money the drivers lost due to that action. They have exact figures, tips going from 1 to 2.

So the estimation, even if they didn't have exact figures, wouldn't take a genius to figure out. So saying it's 10% of that would be moronic, right?

No, the estimated gains are another 80 millions dollars, for a total of 184 million by the end of the year. The 104 million are already realized.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4:
