The allegation that driver payouts are manipulated to:

1) Hook new drivers with better than average rates before tapering off 2) Take into account the age/model/value of the vehicle and what payments for it would look like in the market and dole out enough to cover costs but not "too much" that they're getting ahead of other drivers

Totally baseless and sourceless hearsay tho. Still, if true, really plays into the image of "there's no depth they won't go".
