Per mile & Speed

Philly market here just wondering what others are finding on upfront pay & algorithm “manages” drivers earning per hour. From analysis of my upfront fare offers I screenshot all of them it appears slower traffic pays more per mile while faster trips using highways and or less traffic per mile pay is reduced the effect logically seems that a driver would “earn” about the same no matter which type of trip selected. More miles say trips on freeways in shorter time is more “costs.” Less miles more pay per mile but fewer trips in slow traffic may make more profit as less total mileage and fixed costs. Many of the shorter rides seem to be less now like $4.35 for 3-3.5 miles used to get 1-2 miles total including to pick up. Anyways many many ways algorithm forces drivers into a box it seems. Thanks for any input anyone can share. Safe driving everyone.
