Anyone else feeling the pressure to take ANY order?

Lately, it feels like the app is pushing us to accept everything, even the absolute trash orders. Like, before, you could at least afford to be a little picky, maybe skip that $3.50 for 7 miles. Now? If you decline too many, it feels like you're punished. My acceptance rate has never been so high, and honestly, my earnings per hour are going down. It's like they're trying to squeeze every last drop out of us. Anyone else noticing this? Or am I just being paranoid and the algorithm is finally getting to me?

Definitely feeling this. It's like the algorithm has a built-in timer; the longer you wait, the worse the next batch of offers seems to get. I've seen my acceptance rate creep up too, and it's frustrating because those low-pay, long-distance orders are really tanking my hourly average. It feels like a constant battle between trying to stay busy and trying to actually make decent money. I'm starting to think strategically about when to dash because the constant pressure to accept everything is just exhausting and not worth it in the long run.
