Two other things worth noting, which the article goes into, are that they extrapolated to $100k/year from 1 month (June 2020) which, from what I've heard anecdotally, was an unusually good month to work for a food delivery app, since more people were getting food delivery due to COVID, and that the number doesn't take into account expenses.
I saw a comment elsewhere with his net earnings. Don't remember the exact number but it was under $6k. Dude is making about $15/hr to work himself to death.
Comes out to just over $20/hr after gas (assuming ~1gallon/hr which is about what it was for me).
Cool how he's making essentially $5 over minimum wage to spend 84 hours a week risking his life on the road and putting probably ~3,000 miles/mo on his personal vehicle (that he still might not own).
Edit: This isn't even accounting for other expenses like taxes (30% of net because he's a contractor), maintenance, unreliable tip income (was about 25% of his income), or car insurance (delivery drivers need commercial, which is usually $200-$400/month depending on your history).
