After a class-action lawsuit in 2016, Uber tried making some changes. They recently started allowing their drivers to encouraging their riders to tip.
Even with that progress, though, it seems like the drivers are still earning FAR below a fair amount. One driver told me it's easier than trying to get other jobs, because his heavy accent doesn't matter as much.

Sure thing!
Yeah, but the rides are expensive enough. I would think it would be about as even money wise for the customer as a taxi, but you get a better ride.
