No this is not specific to the "gig" economy. Too much concentration of ownership in any kind of business is serfdom for non owners.

- CaptainZapp 9y agoThe difference being that when you work in a sallaried position you can rely on a certain economic baseline. You can expect a regular salary and defined benefits. The gig economy very much uppends those facts massively and gig economy can be profitable because they externalise the real costs. To summarize: I don't disagree that too miuch concentrated ownership is a bad thing, but disagree with your conclusion that it's not specific to the gig economy.
