“Here’s your Doordash order….”

Depends on where it is. In atlanta I make like 20 an hour minus gas at worst and around 35 at best. Also I do tax fraud with my tips so no this comment is wrong. It also depends on ur car entirely. If u have a 3 grand Prius with 60mpg it’s a lot more profitable. As well as this u have to understand to only work past 5 pm. And only take orders with a ratio of 2 dollars to mile. My accepterance rate of orders is usually like 3% btw. That’s how u make insanely good money doing it. I work like 50 hours a week and bring home Atleast 1k each week which is a respectable living. Gas only takes off like 100 bucks. Again tho this depends on ur car. It’s also very easy to do tax fraud so even more savings and it’s not double taxed and u can lie about ur tips which make up like 80% of the money u get lol. I will say tho. Outside of a major city Doordash is a scam. In a major city tho expect to average 25 an hour which is much better than my previous job of 10 an hour. Also I pay like 20% of the taxes a normal person does there’s no tax on the order it’s already built in and 80% of money comes from tips which u can lie to the government about. On my tax form I deadass make like 5 an hour. This means I only pay 20% or less lmao. I make 50k a year doing this but I pay the tax of someone making 10k a year.
This is a good example on how the exploitation works. By gaming the system and picking off the best orders you're making good money but these type of comments are Survivorship bias . Doordash model makes money off of all the orders in aggregate and needs a steady supply of churners to pick up all the rest of the orders and deliver. MTurk has the same model. When it started I did it for six months and made +$20 hour by figuring out the system and using software to snag the best jobs but amazon makes money from all the penny machine learning jobs and not the occasional $15 psych study. By gaming it I helped guarantee new people on the bottom would churn $2 hour for a month and wash out. The insidious nature of it is that they use us to exploit ourselves.
