This is pretty much true, and accurate of my own experience driving for three years with them. Thanks to a raise at my f/t job, I was able to quit (that and I started looking closer at how much passengers were paying Uber vs. what Uber was paying me). It can be an OK side hustle, but making a "real" profit doesn't happen because of the expenses that most drivers don't take into account that eats up your earnings.
I traded in a Nissan Quest a few years before I should have had to trade it in (because I ran up the mileage driving Uber), and got almost nothing for it. I bought a brand new car and drove that for less than a year (because of Covid, and because of quitting driving) and it's value is so much less than it should be because it has more miles on it than it should for the age of the car.
