It isn't new. Look up how the Leapforce/Lions Bridge raters who indirectly work for Google have inconsistent/unguaranteed work as independent contractors. When those programs started, the pay was near $20, as time has gone on, the output demands have increased and the hourly pay has decreased to ~$13 the last I heard. Why not squeeze the IC's? They aren't represented and typically have no recourse besides quitting, to be replaced by another IC at possibly even lower pay. It just seems like a race to the bottom, with the primary victim being the most vulnerable parties to begin with.
