So, did you notice this one thing in your user agreement?
We might as well continue with the complaints. As I logged into my Lyft app for the first time in a while, I was prompted to agree to the new terms. I chose to read through instead of mindlessly clicking to quickly book my ride. “Arbitration.” As a condition to use the service, I had…
