Liberalism is when you take away the best comm off the site
doesn't the majority of the U.S economy just being service industry already make everyone in those jobs servants? This tweet isn't really a gotcha imo.
While OP is true, I also know a ton of kids from the hood who use ubereats/doordash daily, while their friends also work there lol
What is it with people using the disabled as a shield any time this shit comes up? No one is saying "Uh disabled people have to get off their damn asses, sweaty."
Wonder if they know most disabled people can't afford to use these services regularly lol
Can we autosubscribe everyone to these newer comms? I feel like they'd get more posts if we didn't need to worry about getting less engagement from them.
okay but what if we called it !thedanktake instead, and it only had the greatest, the most super fresh and spicy, of hot takes?
some uber drivers try (at least before covid, idk if they do that now) with having water and gum and treats and shit, so they can get 5 stars and not lose a job. i don't think i've ever been in an actual taxi where that happens.
Yeah, the algorithmic oppression of basically requiring 5 stars from everyone despite not being the psychology of how those star systems work for people definitely feels like it has shades of servitude, grovelling and going beyond what's expected because one shitty customer in a bad mood could tank your rating.
Also UberEats is pretty huge here in Europe and that's not just food delivery, but literally go to the shop for me, chop chop!
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.
Oh let's just do what reddit does
-
Make a sub about a specific topic
-
Name it that specific thing, like /r/tiktokcringe
-
Desire more power
-
Open up the sub to much wider content, like any tiktok videos
-
Confuse the shit out of people forever. "wait what was cringy about this" x 10000000000
-
All our racism factory jobs disappeared so I guess we have no choice but to embrace the servant economy.
How did capitalism make having servants boring? Why wasn't that more difficult?
