    Their business model isn’t necessarily functional

    Start here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aFsfJYWpqII

    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.

        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.
