The gig jobs definitely do suck, but they’re not replacing full time jobs with benefits, they’re replacing part time jobs with inconsistent scheduling. At least with gig jobs you have the semblance of autonomy by being able to set your own schedule and not having a shitty manager breathing down your neck.

Sure. Instead a handful of algorithms are your shitty manager breathing down your neck, and their mood is determined by an arbitrary rating system in the hands of customers who don’t know or care how their ratings affect your schedule/pay/life.

Plus, a lot of gig work is essentially trading the value of your car for cash now.
