I unfortunately drove Uber for a bit back in the late 2010s until I got tired of being sexually harassed. Drivers do get paid the cleaning fee, but the rideshare services were becoming increasingly stringent about their requirements for paying it. The issue was threefold.

People would soil vehicles then dispute the cleaning charges with their credit card, so Uber would be out whatever was paid to the driver. Last I knew, this was a maximum of $225, but capped at $80 if the driver did the cleaning. Good luck finding a professional cleaner that charges less than $225 for cleaning seats smeared with vomit or feces.

Next, drivers would fake vomit or feces and file a report, causing their prior passengers to be charged a cleaning fee.

Ultimately, the ride share services tightened up their methods for both charging and refunding these fees to the detriment of both drivers and riders because they're soulless, capitalist pig fuckers that only care about profit.

    I hate to agree with you, but I do on one point: the $500 million charity estimate is sourced from a Facebook post. Their source could be their own arse for all we know.

    Did Dolly Parton help fund charities and make sizable financial donations? Unquestionably. Did she donate $500M or more over her lifetime? Unknown as I can't find any legitimate sources that quantify her total charitable expenditures.

    This is the second time this has happened. I delete all my old posts and comments using PowerDeleteSuite. I view my profile - everything selected is gone. A few months later, it's all back. I repeat the process, verifying it's all gone. I log in today, months later, and it's back. Simply maddening.

    Is there anything I can do to make it stick?
