This is incredible, I've been using your site for 5 years and I've always wondered "i wonder how much this site profits per month" Any way I can get this half decade long question answered? :)
Glad you like the site! It makes enough that I can keep investing in improvements, while support my family comfortably and saving for a rainy day.

A taxi driver has to rent a medallion and a car (because they can't just use the one they already own) and needs to charge extra for trips across city limits (because they're barred from picking up anyone in another city). It's not predatory pricing when your lower prices are due to lower costs.
A taxi driver in my state has to rent nothing, has to only get insurance and a drivers license allowing them to transport people (which is basically 50$), and there’s two dozen competing services. Don’t assume your local shitty laws are an issue everywhere.

In case anyone else was curious, so far 766 people have clicked that link (over the past ~9 hours). (The AutoTempest one I buried at the end of my other reply has 106 so far.) Quite a bit more than I expected, given that this story only has 200 upvotes or so, and I'm sure only a small fraction of viewers would click the link. A lot of HN lurkers out there!
The more hostile the environment, the more lurkers there are. I read HN daily, but never comment because if you don't speak what the hivemind likes, they downvote you.
