I was bored and watching videos of kids driving for DoorDash and most seem to enjoy it. They comment how it is easy money and fun to listen to music while you drive. Not sure why there is so much hatred for DoorDash and Uber here? Like people on Blind are on a crusade and.are trying to defend the "rights" of drivers but most seem to actually enjoy it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5huzLf0H2N4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg4M1Fn20TM
Gig work was supposed to be extra jobs - side hustles you do when you have free time. The problems occur when people do it as their main job.
Many people have a paternalistic outlook where they think gig workers are stupid people being exploited. If they'd just talk to them (easier with an Uber driver than food delivery courier), they'd learn most value the flexibility and understand the tradeoffs. Of course they want to earn more. Who doesn't? Just look at the fraction of posts here mentioning TC.
Soon they’ll be paid 15 dollars an hour and then doordash will add new “service” fees to adjust to it
Read some breakdowns people do online on how much they make on average as Uber eats or dashers...
Because they are living paycheck to paycheck and tax payers have to bail them out with stimulus checks when shit happens.
