Whenever I hear the words "gig economy", I mentally substitute the words "shite economy". It's basically just low-paid shite that is exploitative. A few years back I came across a site that was looking for technical writers. They'd be editors, and you'd have to rework bits that they weren't pleased with. You'd give them the copyright, too. Yeah, right, like I'm going to write a book for a grand and let them have exclusive rights to it. I felt like writing back to these clowns telling me that they were insulting my intelligence. I would rather write documentation and give away for free than accept their terms. (I do do the odd bit of tech writing, strictly small-scale amateur stuff, of course).
