Did Uber Pro finally give us a default 5 stars for riders who don't rate? In just a few hours a 1, 2, and 3 star rating fell off and I've increased 2 points. Is Uber trying to up all drivers to "Gold" and "Platinum" so they look better in the eyes of the riders...? Or did I just get a lucky slew of people who actually rate and magically had 3 back-to-back bad ratings way back when?

I don't really care about my ratings, per say exactly, I'm just curious because I've simply never seen my rating increase so rapidly before... ?‍♂

Do you really care about the points, ratings, and the other garbage Uber has in the app? All a distraction of shit pay.

Someone didn't read the whole post lol.

I hope so. I just hit 500 rated rides and I want the crap that I got the first week to disappear fast!

(hey, it's all bs, but still....)

I read it. I guess you are in love getting 5 stars.

Well, let's ask the question. Should we start caring???
Look at how many threads there are on here that say "I won't pick up any pax with a rating under 4.xx! " Isn't it reasonable to think that many pax feel the same about drivers, and are canceling rides from drivers with less than x scores?

Now, add all this gold/platinum/diamond rating to it. How long before they're canceling on any driver with a partner rating, or even gold? or platinum??? We may be forced into caring. ugh!

It is a shit show.

This is more what I'm on about here with this question. Since riders care, or at least Uber seems to think riders care, it would seem to be in Uber's best interest to present every one of its riders with "the best of the best" drivers and it can't do that if everyone has a visibly low rating.

Another possibility is that drivers and pax are paired based on having the same rating, give or take a small margin. That'll have a bizarre impact.

Well, one does get higher rated passengers if they have a higher driver rating...just sayin'

Well that 's what was published. But it still seems like your rating goes up when the old drops off.

All I know is Lyft drivers have 24 hrs. to rate. Got a love it when they say tip - app.

It is what it is. They don't pay us enough to care to better my self.

Done 4 trips since the new pro s&(;/
Rating is the same.

It could be 5 star ratings knocking off 5 star ratings so no net change. I just knocked off another 2 star in only a few trips. ?‍♂

That's what's happening. I noticed it last night. Then, of course, I get dinged twice by some ^*() kids at UCLA. Drove a perfect night, no problems at all and they downrate me??? piss on them!

Why do I have to keep declining below 4.60 rated pax constantly with a 4.94 rating then?

Maybe the area/s you drive in those 4.60 pax ARE the highest rated, or a good percentage of such.

No. I get a higher rated pax right after the decline.

I just used Uber to go to the store and when i got off it didn’t ask for rating or tip, I had to go back in and find it under trips to add tip and it did look like it had auto starred the trip.

 

[UberLaLa]

Then you don't have to "keep declining 4.60" - got ya.

Add: Do a little experiment, drop your Rating to just above Deactivation and see if you keep getting those higher rated passengers :winking:

By keep declining I'm talking about the SAME pax.
