Society/Culture Delivery apps - the inner workings

[rumply]

No doubt this kind of thing extends beyond just Door Dash or whatever, any sort of service that offers priority delivery would be in on it in some way you'd think. I rarely use these services as I have trust issues with people handling my food so it's just another reason to steer clear for me.

Read Technofuedalism by Yanis Varoufakis.

Basically says capitalism is over, these tech platforms are going to become fiefs that have us all over a barrel with their rent seeking aAll the while the rest of us "cloud serfs" volunteer our data and identities to enhance the value of their fief without us getting compensated for it.

Unfettered, unregulated capitalism for the win!
