There are several forms of exchange. There are some you do because of gaining a direct exchange back. This is mostly called trading. A specific form of trading is barter.

But then there is also sharing. It acures when ppl give what they can, and also have the possibility to take what they need, free from the ideology of trading.

What uber has done is nothin but hijacking culture.
If you sell a service, and make others to sell their service that’s all about trading.

Uber is a for profit trading company. As any other company they are using the labor of others. As any other company they use the resources and labour of others to pay them loan while extracting value from the public. And as any other company they build up a structure to facilitate this process.

There is no for-profit sharing and non-profit sharing.
If there would be, the word sharing would be obsolet.
