This isn't universal though. If you go to places where gig workers discuss these issues (say /r/UberDrivers) every post complaining about pay has people saying "if you don't like the fare, don't accept it!" and to be fair there are also lots who are not complaining about it.
In any event, I don't mean to defend uber. I don't favor their model. I would just say that it is NOT universal.
