Do you think of the gig economy to be empowering or exploitative?

[King Belieal]

The gig economy has seen a rise in acceptance and adoption over the years. It seems like it has democratized the workspace and allowed people to work on their own terms. On the other hand, it seems like employers are taking advantage to have valuable services for lowered pay.

Do you think of the gig economy as being truly empowering or it is just a system to exploit the workforce?

The gig economy is very exploitative of you ask me. The rates offered for tasks and jobs in the gig economy is a far cry with what would be obtainable if that job is taken by a person on site.
