I don't want tipping to be a thing. I'm also hoping that it doesn't impact how the driver will rate me after-the-fact.
I use Uber to commute in Seattle (often both ways) and have encountered repeat drivers. Will they give me a lower score now that they realize I'm not tipping them?
Not tipping is what made Uber more simple and required less effort on my part. Tipping a taxi driver was annoying and this will be annoying too.
I was also wary of using food delivery app services for the longest time because of the tipping. I am glad that I can just do a $5 tip (or whatever) + built delivery fee IN THE CHECKOUT PROCESS and not worry about it AFTER they have showed up at my doorstep with the delivery.
TLDR: I don't want to tip because it requires more effort and consideration from me as a rider after the fact. I will not tip like this.
As an aside, I've tipped an Uber driver ONCE before because it was a distant airport ride and he helped with the very heavy luggage my girlfriend and I had. I gave him cash.
+For whatever it's worth, I tip waiters and stylists very well. I don't have anything against tipping itself, just this kind of implementation into an app service where it didn't have tipping before.
