The only argument here is about whether its profitability or growth is not sustainable because drivers are getting a bum deal, or merely a run-of-the-mill deal, while all appearances are to the contrary. It's pretty easy to tell when people are happy. Groupon was generally hated by small businesses, while Uber is loved by operators of limos and taxis. People aren't idiots; they know when a service is good for their bottom line and when it isn't.
3. Raising a big round doesn't in itself mean a company is a strong or weak business, though it will increase debate about it.
