After burning through $33.5 billion and losing money for over a decade, Uber has finally posted a real profit. But the path to profitability wasn’t pretty. From slashing driver pay and hiking restaurant fees to steamrolling local governments, Uber’s growth-at-all-costs strategy left a trail of unhappy drivers, frustrated restaurants, and angry regulators in its wake. Even now, Uber’s profitability depends on squeezing its workers and partners, with driver wages falling and delivery fees spiking. And just as Uber hits this long-awaited milestone, one rival—DoorDash—is quietly taking over the food delivery market. With lawsuits piling up, governments pushing back, and investor doubts growing, is Uber’s profit story already under threat?
