This may not be popular here because a lot of Ycombinator's wealth depends on this not happening, but competition laws need to change to allow developers/taxi drivers/home renters/etc. to collude openly against platforms. Shareholders get to collude, even against consumers, by merging companies, and the government goes to great lengths to give specific minority shareholder rights to boost the collusion. But a group of small businesses don't get to if they don't merge; I think they should be able to collude against platforms backed by network effects, hardware lock in, etc., I'm not saying they should be able to collude against consumers.
