The article is "kind" of about the enshittified tech economy. It uses Amazon and Uber mostly as well known examples of bad behavior (like name dropping a celebrity everybody knows is a train wreck).<p>The article is mostly about attempts to create an alternative using cooperative structures that aim for 50+% money going to drivers / gig-workers / ect...<p>Example 1: $30/hr for 9,000 drivers in New York, NY that's "almost" break even (according to the article) that focuses on limited, yet high demand services. This service attempts 80% drivers / 20% cooperative allocation.<p>Example 2: Restaurant cooperative in Fort Collins, CO that got pissed at Grubhub jacking rates, so they built their own delivery service and charge $4.90 / order average. Now have 50% of the city's business.
