Rideshare Trap - Driverlion (Antlion)

When I saw the rideshare apps, I realized that this is a difficult trap to escape because many people rely on it to make money. Complaints are here and there but driving for the rideshare "seems" like earning money at that moment, at least. Some drivers realized it earlier and got another job after leaving this trap. Nobody is forced to join this trap but drivers need money and rideshare seems easier.

Antlions(larvae) are foes of ants. Some ants can escape from their trap but many ants keep failing and rolling back to the center of the trap where Antlions Larva was awaiting with opening his wide jaw. Ants will be sucked their body fluid and their empty body will be thrown out of the trap. I thought this predatory process seemed like what rideshare drivers have experienced and wanted to express my thoughts with illustration.

Some people successfully achieve their goals through rideshare apps, but many people lose their car's value and spend more money on gas, insurance, and time to wait for better calls - "Cherry-Picking."
