Why do people tip bait on Uber?

For context, “tip-baiting” is when someone places an order through an app like DoorDash or Uber Eats with a sizable tip. This incentivizes drivers to pick up and prioritize their orders. Then, after the order has been delivered, the customer revises their tip to be lower or even eliminates their tip completely.
