Yes and no. Sometimes it's more grey than that in services like Uber or Doordash where it could be at the fault of one bad apple and not the company at a whole.

Yes and no. Sometimes it's more grey than that in services like Uber or Doordash where it could be at the fault of one bad apple and not the company at a whole. Or as others said, sometimes you are at the mercy of losing a massive library of content if you get blacklisted like on Steam or Amazon, for example.
- JohnFen 4y ago> it's more grey than that in services like Uber or Doordash I understand this perspective, but my opinion is that the company running things is responsible for the people working under their banner. If the company doesn't make something right, that's on the company in the end regardless of who specifically did something wrong. So it doesn't look gray to me. > sometimes you are at the mercy of losing a massive library of content True, and that's a tough spot. Personally, that risk is why I never use a service that can put me in that sort of position. But I do understand that others may be willing to take this risk. It's still a risk, though, and I expect that the people who choose these sorts of services are aware of that and accept that they might lose.
- ClumsyPilot 4y ago> I understand this perspective, but my opinion is that the company running things is responsible for the people working under their banner. Companies like Uber claim that the people are self employed when it suits them, and that they are not when it doesn't.
- JohnFen 4y agoTrue, but I'm saying that the employment status of them isn't relevant. It's a "buck stops here" situation. If people are working under their banner, regardless of whether those people are contractors, employees, volunteers, whatever, then in the end the company is responsible for what they do.
