If consumers aren't willing to pay more, then I truly hope this gigging economy goes down the drain.
I live in a country with extremely strong labor laws, and for the past 3-4 years we've seen more and more of these gigging companies / startups try, and surprise surprise, they're fighting tooth and nail to get around labor laws - because that's where their edge and profitability lies.
This is gonna sound harsh, but If you live in a country with abysmal labor laws, and you're getting exploited by companies like that...well, I don't particularly care. You need to get your laws and rights fixed, that's all I can say.
But to bring this garbage here, that's where I personally draw a line.
