You’re literally arguing that a billion dollar industry isn’t actually a popular service.
If it’s so much better and more convenient to order by phone, why does almost no-one do it anymore?
And you trust that?? I
I live in Finland, qe have very strict food regulations, but no, I don’t completely trust it. But for well rated high quality restaurants, yeah, mostly.
d, up to and including adding restaurants without their knowledge or consent.
Again this is nothing to do with the tech and that isn’t happening country. What youre against is shit business practice, exploitation and abusing new tech.
Now without too much into any sort of politics, a lot of restaurants are immigrant run, and especially here in Finland, there is a language barrier. And it doesn’t help that most Finns are asshat racists so people feel even less comfortable asking if they got something wrong.
I used to order on the phone all the time as I was doing it before these apps ever came along. So many fucker orders.
I do oppose the abuse and exploitation that poorly regulated food service apps enable, but I’m not against the actual tech.
Obviously if you say “just ignore shitty businesses and practices, the fundamental idea of being able to order from an app is great”…well, sure. I’m not arguing about the idea of apps. I’m arguing about the current status quo.
I have never once said “ignore the shitty business practices”.
I’m saying the underlying tech will remain, and that it is good. That episode was bad. I’ve seen it. But let me tell you, the working condition of the people here in the Nordic are somewhat different. The companies are still shit heads and there are problems but thrive already won the right for the rights of employees, instead of being contractors.
I. Like you. Am against bad business practice and exploitation. Not against tech when it can be used for good.

Their business model isn’t necessarily functional

What about the technology that runs food delivery services do you find so compelling? I don’t see what’s so special about any of it.
Were you old enough to order food before apps?
