Maybe I'm being overly-simplistic, but what a lot of these folks are actually aiming for is closest approximated to being "Trust fund kids".
Digging even deeper based on some conversations I've had with friends, a lot of these folks are running away from a string of bad bosses or toxic management.
Every means of making a living requires putting up with a bad boss, so its not surprising they start looking for alternative means of making a living/disconnecting etc. COVID exacerbated this.
- fragmede 3y ago> Every means of making a living requires putting up with a bad boss, With a traditional job, if you have a bad boss, you've got up deal with that non-stop. If you're driving for Uber/Lyft, the platform as your "boss" is an app, for better or worse. More importantly though, if you get an unruly passenger, they're kinda your boss, but only for the duration of the ride (except for extreme cases), so you don't have to put up with them as a bad boss forever.
