By treating the abandoned scooters as trespassing property on private hotel or business lots, they charge the companies $30 pickup fees and daily storage rates. The scheme is described as a "genius" application of property rights against the "plague" of dockless scooters.

Similar business models in China have already collapsed, leaving "mountains" of abandoned bicycles in their wake.

San Francisco's new regulatory model, which requires companies to provide helmets and on-the-ground assistance, is praised for holding these businesses accountable.

Critics argue the policy encourages dangerous sidewalk use and discriminates against those without smartphones. One host threatened to use indelible Sharpies to scratch out QR codes on the devices to render them useless in protest of the city's management of the program.

An Instagram account called "Bird Graveyard" documents people destroying, burning, or pooping on the scooters. The backlash is attributed to a general disdain for "douchebag" tech worker culture and the perceived unsustainability of the current "Silicon Beach" economic boom.

The hosts use this to criticize the term "ride-sharing," arguing it is a "bogative" moniker for what is actually a commercial taxi service. They similarly criticize "bike-sharing" and electric scooters (like Lime), calling them "scooter rentals" that have become a "scourge" on city sidewalks.
