How can I use Uber if there is a problem signing up on both the web and iOS interfaces?

There's no phone support number.  To be able to submit a help ticket at all requires a login, but I don't have one because I'm not able to sign up.  The signup error is non-informative on both iOS and the web.  The web page gives "There was a problem signing up.  Please try again", which is completely uninformative.

Some things that might prevent you signing up-

1. Using an Email address that has been signed up already
2. Using a phone number that is already registered to another uber account
3. Trying to register with a phone number that is not a "local" phone number
4. Invalid zip code
5. Using an Email address that is bouncing all incoming emails from Uber

Check the aforementioned, if you still are unable to register, i suggest just going to your local uber office to explain your problem.

Use these steps:

• Create a new GMail address
• Register on Uber via web with the new email address
• Request a free Google voice number using your new GMail account
• Use the Google voice number for Uber with call forwarding to your original number
• Don’t forget to register the new user code for free first ride
• Turn on location discovery on your browser
• Call your first Uber!

I started the process to drive for Uber in Boise,Id but was unable to finish the process.I have done every thing they  required and I am still stuck.I need help to finish the process. I AM STUCK.

What qualifies as "famous" on youtube?

How many subscribers does someone need to have to be considered "famous"? For example, compared to modern-day celebrities in other areas.

It's not about a technical number of subscribers, but rather the familiarity with which the person is known.

Subscribe

By 'famous on YouTube' I'll assume you mean someone who is famous amount YouTube users for their own channel.

Take PewDiePie, for example, who is a famous YouTuber (whether or not you find him entertaining). He has a large number of subscribers but, more than that, his fame comes from being known. Most people on YouTube can tell you that he is the highest earning Youtuber in the world.

However, fame is relative. If my grandparents used YouTube I doubt they would be interested in PewDiePie. I doubt they would even know his name to hear. However, they may have shared their favourite travelling vlog channel with the rest of the 80+ population of Ireland. In that regard, this theoretical vlog would be extremely famous among that population.

So fame isn't about numbers, but about being familiar and recognisable to a large proportion of viewers within a sizeable population.

My best answer is if people on the street recognize you and stop you to just talk, take a picture, or sign your autograph. If you can just go to the store and buy a loaf of bread without being hassled or tackled, you ain't famous.

When you get a Gold Play Button, a Diamond Play Button, or into YouTube Rewind.
