ELI5: why don't taxi drivers just become Uber drivers?
gpt
Because Uber drivers are paid less, have to use their personal cars, get no insurance, and are increasingly being cracked down on by cities for being unlicensed taxis.

Uber sold the age-old concept of unlicensed cabs with a lot of hype to convince people they were doing something new. All they did was make an app and then convince a bunch of chumps to take all the risk while they rake in all the dough.
