the thing about instacart/uber/taskrabbit/etc is that it’s gotten the most ridiculous urban liberals so accustomed to the idea of having literal servants, but in a totally atomized and depersonalized way where you get to pretend you’re progressive and actually don’t have servants— g a b y (@gabydvj) April 28, 2021
Probably more referring to UberEats. Like yeah, food delivery has existed too, but it's hard to deny that it feels like something has changed with the normalization of the gig economy. All of this stuff is getting way more common.
I think it's getting more common simply because 1. these apps have made getting delivery much easier to access and 2. the pandemic. I'm not sure anything changed with people; we've always been lazy, and it's easier than ever to do so.
For sure, but I think in typical disaster capitalist fashion, I think the pandemic has been an opportunity for the gig companies to gain a market share that they're going to be able to keep.
