It's not like some really unpopular celebrity said "They're my favorite company" and people started to ditch them, they earned this themselves.
And since deleting the app and not using the service is the only real power users have... they're taking advantage of it.
Sounds like the system works.
So the system works in both cases, right?
But given that the legal system has failed them so far at least this is putting obvious pressure on them. This is only happening because the legal system has failed them.
Didn't the "delete Uber" campaign start the other week because of connections with the Trump administration? At least that's how folks I know on Facebook phrased it.
Even so giving them clemency is a bit like blaming a heart attack on bad luck instead of decades of poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle.

I was thinking something more like if Bill Cosby had said he takes uber all the time when the allegations came out about him or a 'Uber Serial Killer' was found. If they were associated through no fault of their own with something VERY unpopular.
I'm not sure if the Trump thing qualifies, but it was a bit of a mess and I'm not clear on exactly what went down, but my sense is it wasn't exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of.
