I disagree with his final conclusions... If we all try to be nicer to the driver, give them 5 stars, they're still being abused.

You need better laws to protect them.

Also, don't become a gig worker, you WILL be abused

A lot of people that are doing it are between jobs and are looking for something more stable.

I did that. I was abused the entire time by an app with no means of communicating with those in control of the app. Sure, I could go and yell at support over being fucked over when a bundled order took me 10 miles farther than the app said it would and there was no tip attached, but they were also being abused since they were contract workers in India who had no means to alter my pay.

The guy in the video was right, these apps are leaches. I'm sorry if you're currently having your blood sucked by them; I hope the trips are short and the tips are good.
