What I'm trying to tell you, is that if you don't tip, your order won't get picked up. or on some platforms, the drivers will be forced to pick up because their reject rate is too high, so essentially by not tipping, but still engaging with the platform, you are costing the gig workers money.
it's pretty simple, if you don't want to tip, don't use these platforms, which is good it shows a strong message that you don't want these kind of platforms to exist. but if you do use these platforms, and you dont' tip. then you are just taking advantage of the gig workers like the companies are. you might think that the companies should give the gig workers more money, but they won't, and you are enabling them to not do that.
