Pushes restaurants to the brink of bankruptcy and pays their riders close to nothing. Abusive human rights in third world countries (much worse than how they treat riders in UK and other markets)&lt;p&gt;Tried to manipulate pricing &amp;amp; food choices with various algorithms (hiding restaurants, making them pay for screen estate)&lt;p&gt;Trying to run ghost kitchens and further capture market share &amp;#x2F; margin with poor quality ingredients and misleading advertising (nice photos make it look like a restaurant but it’s some sweat shop instead, likely with unhygienic conditions and slave labor)&lt;p&gt;With the pandemic receeding, I LOVE walking in fresh air and eating fresh food at a restaurant&lt;p&gt;On a general note, the world is so beautiful and needs to be enjoyed in person. All these apps are a cheap and manipulative substitution that really reduce quality of life for many. I’m looking at you Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Deliveroo etc</text></comment>

Just look at how $DASH turned out.&lt;p&gt;This is an easy no buy even when the scam has been admitted to the public and retail investors.&lt;p&gt;Take heed this advice.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.altfi.com&amp;#x2F;article&amp;#x2F;7672_deliveroo-ipo-kicks-off-with-50m-primary-bid-deal&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.altfi.com&amp;#x2F;article&amp;#x2F;7672_deliveroo-ipo-kicks-off-w...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.bbc.co.uk&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;business-56123668&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.bbc.co.uk&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;business-56123668&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
