Why Complaining About DoorDash Is a Trap

When you complain about DoorDash every single day but still log in tomorrow… you’ve already fallen into the trap. In this clip, I break down the harsh truth most drivers don’t want to admit: complaining doesn’t fix the algorithm, it doesn’t raise base pay, and it definitely doesn’t grow your bank account. What it does do is keep you stuck, frustrated, and blind to the mindset shift you actually need to survive gig work.

This isn’t about being toxic — it’s about holding drivers accountable. If you’re going to work these apps, then work them with purpose, strategy, and discipline… not constant negativity.

If you’ve ever found yourself ranting about DoorDash while still depending on it the next morning, this message is for you.
