This is the point when I came across as so abrasive. You don't sign up for the service as a driver, fill out a form and off you go. Uber needs to approve your vehicle is in their whitelist of certified vehicles (you can't buy a restored Checker Cab or buy a Crown Vic with the taxi package and drive that around because they are both deemed either too old or don't comply with Uber's passenger safety requirements) and then you have to be on top of both maintenance and cleanliness inside and out.

Uber's business model is designed to exploit workers (sorry, "independent contractors") as much as possible

Am I not aware of some obligation to work of Uber that I'm not aware of? You got no set work hours, you don't get called off-shift to come in and if you skip a Friday nobody's going to write you up. You're bored on a Saturday night, you hop in your Prius and you're gonna go make $50 between picking up fares and tips.
If It takes you 18 hours to make $180 (I'm going to factor in the cost of fuel and possibly food here because that was never mentioned) driving for Uber, you suck. Go pump gas. Go deliver pizzas. Good god I'm sure Skip the Dishes pays more.
