The problem here is the workers have no protection for when the algorithm stops picking them. There need to be laws for how disputes like that are solved, because the person has already made some investment to participate, expecting to pay that by getting gigs, so they're left with nothing and the company isn't liable for anything. People need to be protected from the actions of the companies they choose to work for, yes.

- stagas 3y agoExcept that working, unlike stock investments, isn't gambling. It's supposed to have a stable, secure, predictable outcome.
- johngladtj 3y agoYou're incorrect, if you get paid at the end of the month, you're an unsecured creditor against the company. Legally and economically speaking you're taking on more risk than most banks take on when they give you a mortgage.
