Is Driving for Uber or Lyft a good side hustle gig?

I'm looking to make some extra money on the side. Lyft and Uber always come to mind when I think of the share economy and/or side hustles.
But has anybody on here driven for either company? Do you make decent money? Do these companies treat their employees well? Are the customers often hard to deal with? Do you have to pay in more for taxes?
Please let me know!
I always just saw an article that Uber is going to soon have in-app tripping, which Lyft already does.

I would say you could do it as a side-job, but I don't think the pay is too high. But that's my opinion. Never worked for either.

I heard many opinion about such service and I all hear that depending on time you spend as driver you get more money. They all mention that if the road is long, it isn't a good business but if it is a close destination then it is better for many drivers.
A taxi driver once told me that they take a certain percentage of the win
I heard from few taxis that the customers are hard to deal with cause they pay lesser if they pay in cash and there is a rating in Uber that customers do take it seriously.
well i don't thinks it's better Idea as the uber cars have many disadvantages such as time issues, stress, back pain and moreover it's not productive.
Being a driver for Uber or Lyft seems like a great side hustle. ... New Lyft drivers can even earn a $300 sign-up bonus after completing 100 rides in 30 days. If you believe those ads, driving with a ridesharing service seems like the ideal side gig.
