What is it Like to Drive for Uber? The Most Honest Video. A Look Into an Uber Driver's Life And work Shift

in #life7 years ago (edited)


I shot this video in Seattle, WA. It is a complete video without edit of the first half of an Uber shit. I used 3 cameras. 1 facing outwards, 1 facing in towards the interior and one that dubbed my phone. The idea is to give the viewer a view of what I see when I drive, what my passengers see on the inside and how the actual app works. I find this video is educational and fun for anyone who has not driven for an app company but is curious. I also find that actual drivers find it very entertaining.

I curse. Like, I curse a lot. But, hey, this video is about honesty. This is what I really think and feel about the passengers I drive. I also think that it is funny to see the "Jeckle and Hyde" of a rideshare driver.

I will warn you that I do almost nothing for the first half hour of this video. I didn't edit it out because that happens sometimes in rideshare. Sometimes you sit on your ass and do nothing while you wait for someone to ask for a ride. So, I felt like it might be boring, but it is a real look at what rideshare is sometimes.

I find that it is actually very funny. I drove to my favorite spot in Seattle. The spot I have been working for almost 2 years. I like it because it usually surges in the morning so my first ride of the day is a pretty profitable ride. But, OF COURSE, once I get all my camera's set up, nothing. No surge, no ride, no nothing. I just sat there thinking don't panic! But I really wanted to panic because I was also live streaming the event to my YouTube audience.

Anyway, this is my most successful YouTube video to date. It is approaching 700,000 minutes watched, just under 18k views with an average view duration of 38 minutes. It has generated 157.00 in ad revenue (now you know why I want to use the steemit platform! just imagine what 18k views on Dtube would generate. LOL)

My favorite stat about this video is that it is only being watched in the US about 80% of the time. So, 20% of my view time is from outside the US. That is the highest foreign view count that I have on any of my videos. Including 700 minutes of watch time in Ghana. Yeah, I'm pretty big in Ghana! :)

Ugh, I hated being an Uber driver.. It was my only job for over a year though!

LOL a full year is a long ass time though. I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience. You should try doing it part time to make some extra money on the side. It makes it a lot more tolerable. But, also the market is very saturated so delete your app so I have less over all competition. HAHAHAHA

Video might be a bit too long but overall quality is what matters, really rich info inside.

Thanks for dedicated time to make this information available for us, really appreciate that man.

NP! If you and other like this stuff I can make more of it. It does take a long time to edit, but I will if that is what people like. that is one reason I like Steemit. It lets you interact more directly with followers. This allows me to make content that people want.

Your by far the coolest uber driver, and for you to document this is just awesome! I hope steemit will give you that extra that you need :)

Thanks! That is really nice of you. One thing I have noticed about steemit is that people seem to be much nicer on here than most of the internet. I mean nobody has called me a racial slur or threatened to kill me yet. LOL

No kidding. I feel like the rest of the internet has almost killed any common decency people had.

I 90% agree with this. I'm just 10% worried that humanity has no decency and we are all just faking it to ourselves and the rest of the world.

Hmm, maybe. You knows those short videos on facebook or instagram that are titled "Humanity restored!!"? I kind of feel like that's your 10% of decent people.

Bahahahahahahahahaha

Haha, yea I noticed that too. It's probably because of the whole getting paid for what you say drives the haters away. Have fun on steemit! :)

I love the I cuss. I mean i cuss a lot.
Love it.

Pretty nice with the extra display of the phone

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll be sure to upload some more like this.

Cute baby :)!

Thanks! That is Nate and his 1 year birthday is in 3 days!

awesome dtube addition 👍👍 and love the hat 😄

Thank you very much!! And my wife disagrees with my style sense. So, I'm glad you are on my side.

Emotional video =)) I will show it to my friends! =))

there's a bad edit at the end it repeats @ 3:24:00

Oh, snap. Thanks dude. Wait, how did you know that I just didn't do that to see if you watched the whole video or not!? :)
