It is not right to think in terms of investing money to get better returns, therefore mod apps is acceptable. Within the framework of the Grab e-hailing system, there are rules to ensure fairness. Basically, whoever driver is nearest to passenger will get assigned the job.
If we talk about fishing in the sea, there is no such framework of fairness rules. So yes, whoever invests more money to buy a bigger net will catch more fish. Whoever invests more money to equip his boat with better sonar will locate more shoals and catch more fish. This is totally acceptable and has no moral ambiguity.
I give you another analogy. Let's say in the passport office, a signboard shows the rule is 'first come first serve by taking a queue number'. Another signboard says 'bribing is forbidden'. And today all staff bar one are on leave, only 1 counter open. So imagine you took a queue number and after waiting 4 hours, you are almost there, just one more number to reach yours. Then a runner comes in, goes straight to counter and hands over a big 'investment' to the officer, who then serves him without queue number. And this runner has 50 passports to apply for his clients. The officer takes 2 hours to process those. You end up waiting another 2 hours then you are served.
Would you say that's totally acceptable and you have no issues with being made to wait 2 hours longer, since somebody else 'invested' money to jump queue while you didn't?
Nope....why would that be an issue? Want fast pay for the service even though it's free it's a norm to me
A very good example I face daily priority lane
I took cable car at Genting also got priority lane for platinum card holder , same goes when I wanna cash chips out, even I go bank also I don't need to queue.
So....just imagine that you are entitled these privilege and a nobody also can enjoyed it how u feel? Wey a lot of money invested , well it's vice versa this is like 2 side of coin .
Then again does Grab take action on the modded app? To me it's highly insider job from Grab as well .
