Took a 20 minute Uber today, cost me $19.89. Driver took home a little over $5. Uber's take is 75% - that seems surprisingly high. I would have expected a split closer to 50-50.

i know it’s an old idea but hoping p2p sharing networks can actually take off using farcaster identity for social proof uber, couch surfing, local buy/sell marketplaces, etc

People are trying, but I don't think it's working out. https://decrypt.co/112957/teleport-creators-raise-9m-build-decentralized-uber-rival-solana

i feel like without a social graph such as farcaster it wouldn’t work, but if i could see a bio, previous cast history, mutual friends, etc it might prob more so for airbnb/couch surfing than uber

Social graph can potentially sort the issue. It can also be solved by asking the drivers and passengers to stake some amount to use the system.

that’s fascinating, hadn’t thought about stake almost as collateral

It's onchain. So, it's better than a centralized deposit.
