> If they don't create value, why do people pay for it?
How much would you pay for a machine that steals a dollar out of everyone else in the world’s pocket? Maybe you’re a good person and the answer is not much but I’d guess most people would pay, say, 7 billion for it.
If you’re asking about DoorDash specifically, people pay because they think that’s the price. It still damages the restaurant’s reputation, lowers their order numbers, etc. it’s legal stealing.
