I edited my comment to include a lot.
- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never delivered for Uber Eats specifically, but I don’t know how they managed less than $2 an hour without doing obviously impractical things like trying to deliver at off hours, or in a poor area for it. I average about $27/hour. This is however, with GrubHub that has a wait list for drivers and they deliberately don’t overcrowd regions. Area really has a lot to do with it. I can imagine that if Uber doesn’t cap the amount of drivers in an area, a full on city is probably the worst example of a place to try it. I know that DoorDash is the same way in Atlanta, and the few times I have tried there, it wasn’t worth the trip. One thing you learn very fast through observations is that the “hot zones” mentioned in the article don’t matter. All they mean is that someone ordered from a place there before the map refreshed.
I guess my point here, is that the pay isn’t necessarily shit. You have to put in some leg work and learn the best areas around you as well as the times to work.
I do have a lot to say about doing this line of work with over 1k deliveries done across 3 apps, but it is kind of out of the scope of this comment unless someone asks.

Thanks. I’ll check this out.

Oddly enough, no Lemmy support? I keep relatively odd hours. I tend to make a post for projects here as soon as they are finished because I don’t want to wind up forgetting to post them. I’ve fought with a script trying to accomplish the same thing, but a dedicated tool to schedule a post for a time when more people are likely to see (and hopefully enjoy) it would be great.

Thanks for this. The posts have been mostly me trying with no prior experience. I will certainly adjust things with this feedback. I haven’t posted there in some time, and I think I have gotten better overall, but you make a very valid criticism about accessibility.

No, that is really valid. It just kinda sucks to see something you spent hours on get that, when a 15 year old meme can pull 700.

That might be the case with !high_quality_gifs@lemmy.sdf.org.
I did eventually (recently) post to the comms you mentioned. It did help, because someone other than me finally posted there and it was really refreshing.

Nah, I legit enjoyed it as a hobby. I did let things get to me trying to make stuff people would enjoy, there’s no question about that. Spend hours on something, enjoy making it, only for people to not carr about the end result is disheartening. Imagine having fun making a painting for a year with the goal of making people happy only for no one to look at it.

Maybe with that community, you could crosspost to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world and get some traction. I think there is overlap there.
But yeah. People are really quick to say “be the change you wish to see” without ever had the perspective of putting in the work.

Same here. I am thinking about finding a mod that either lowers the difficulty a touch or allows you to focus on the industry more. The waves start to get frantic fast.

AutoCAD does need to die, but there absolutely is no real substitute for MasterCAM. I have a windows PC just for running that software, because nothing comes even kinda close. That license is expensive though, holy shit.

Holy shit thank you. I hacked together a script with a crinjob months ago. This is so much more elegant.

Absolutely this. I’ve started a few, and after being the only one to ever post on one of them, I have practically given up. It also burned me out of a hobby.

Yes, there is. You can even follow PeerTube channels from Lemmy.

Sure, but why? PeerTube already exists and it isn’t like there are length limits.
