This is a crazy take on a volunteer, intended-to-be-part-time-side-hussle-money "gigs". The "Gig Economy" is a fable for the most part. Some small minority of people have made it a full time job, sure, but that is not the norm, not even close. No one is being taken advantage of by Uber, etc. You choose to accept a trip or not... it's that simple.

Any worker can choose to accept a job or not; therefore no worker can ever be taken advantage of? Absurd.
