Whew lots of negativity here! Think this is super promising of what the future holds. Not known many people who enjoyed working in call centers.

  > Not known many people who enjoyed working in call centers. Because this is a type of a job that gets you by in your teens and twenties while you amass skills, degrees and knowledge. The fact that you don't enjoy it helps sometimes to muster the strength needed to continue with your efforts. For me crappy gigs were always a ladder. Without them I'd probably be forced to make some pretty hard choices. I'm of course not defending call centers specifically, but maybe You'd elaborate more on what's so exiting about all this ? I'd be more exited if we find a way to maybe not exploit children in third world factories, but to see even the most mind numbing jobs go away to me always feels like more people will struggle somehow.

  The negativity comes from people who know, or can sympathize with, people who work in call centers and dont have a lot of other job prospects. What do they do now? It's scary because when we remove jobs from the market without having a replacement we dont actually make the world any better. We just make a company more profitable. I for one couldnt give two shits if Klarna is successful or not. But I do care if the person who is a perfectly fine call center employee but doesnt have a ton of other skills is able to support themselves or not.
