That may be true, but I assume Uber commits to paying drivers $X per mile or hour or something similar (as stated in that article). Surely, you won't drive for Uber if you don't know exactly how much money you make and if it's always subject to changes and experimentation?
People only drive for Uber if they have to in the first place, so now they are testing exactly how much of a beating drivers are willing to take before they leave. They already know the answer is "a lot" so they'll keep on pushing.

This is completely opposite my anecdotal experience. When I ask uber drivers why they drive for uber, the majority say they left a previous job for uber because of the money/flexibility/less-stress.
