The tech system also allows people to use their gear to make money where they otherwise wouldn’t. Look at Uber. People have a vehicle and free time. If they chose that driving is a better use of their time than watching Netflix, they can make money. Without Uber no one would simply call Alice or Bob for a paid ride.
What has surprised me is the lack of community centric responses. For example, to my knowledge, there is no communalist Uber. This is a system where the drivers are owners in the process. They pay the devs to maintain the system, but people could join and get a better share of the service funds. I take this to mean the Marxists out there just talk a big game.
