> the majority of the time, I've generally only seen subcontracting used to do something immoral, unethical, or irresponsible What about lead generation? Hiring a professional at pre-determined prices like plumber (HomeAdvisor), mechanic (OpenBay), dentist (1800-DENTIST), florist (FTD), electrician (Amazon Home Services), various comedian or model or party clown booking agencies help the consumer to procure an infrequently needed service and not get ripped off in the process. It helps the professional to get some extra bookings when they have capacity for it. It seems that under AB5 any lead generation shop is in the same primary business as the subcontractor and therefore 1800DENTIST has to fully employ all those dentists on its platform.
