@Kitty62862 I have never used any of them and am always surprised when some Millennial builds his life around these. This race to the bottom to make Travis Kalanick rich was never attractive to me.
The article mentions worker-owned alternatives and The New School has a class on this that I took last year.

“The Gig Economy” is merely a tool to avoid providing benefits, and to drive wages down.
A tool wielded mercilessly, in hopes of creating a permanent, dependent peasant class.
Time to rise up.
