> The haves and the have-nots might be given new names: the demanding and the on-demand It doesnt have to be split that way. "Living as a service" is our future, as more and more people end up living but also working on-demand instead of steady home / 8 hours. Technology was supposed to be the lubricant that would catalyze this conversion, and these startups might be just the beginning. Automation will only accelerate the trend, and in the end the platforms themselves will be commodified, because these services rely on physical proximity which inherently limits their network effects (hence why they subsidize their prices - a futile endeavor). I think attacking the model is not helping, improvement is what it needs.
