I avoid the whole "sharing economy" as much as possible. I think I've taken an uber or lyft twice when I was in a pinch in a city I wasn't familiar with, and once ordered a truck part to be delivered from a store in town that ended up being through a third party app (I couldn't drive down without the replacement fuel pump). I really don't get the hope of trusting individuals that are arguably being taken advantage of by a faceless tech business rather than trusting employees or contractors that are at least more invested in customer service for the company. It makes about as much sense to me as distrusting humans so much that you want to put all your wealth in a glorified git repo coded by humans and run by a small number of people. Either trust people or don't, its a pretty simple choice. Convincing ourselves that a layer of tech can abstract humans away so much that we don't need to trust anyone is just absurd.
