Apparently the reason why many people found it didn't work is that Uber Eats detected the flurry of redemptions as unusual activity and ironically assumed it was a cyber attack.

And yes, if you've worked a 24 hour shift rebooting all your Windows servers, a $10 voucher as recompense doesn't really cut it.
It feels like satire

I was directly affected as resources assigned to me in my work were rightly redirected to fixing servers/PCs. The consequences for my projects were real and costly.
I'm guessing these 3rd party impacts were repeated everywhere.
a $10 voucher seems pretty ironic.
I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.
