Gig Work Is Packed Right Now!

[Zwielicht]

I tried look for some gig work to do to make a bit of extra cash, and everything is packed and has a waiting list.

DoorDash, Tasker, Uber Eats, Instacart; everything!

I know these are typically these are the first choices for a lot of people, but I remember it used to be really easy to sign up for this type of work.

Some would say a societal collapse is incoming, but it's probably just my area.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah I tried to join an app here called Deliveroo.

Basically the same as Uber eats.

But it took almost a year to even hear back.

They wanted more info from me so I said fuck that.

They always want more information, don't they?

I tried signing up to one of those AI training gig work platforms and have gotten the same issue—no response back. It seems like everyone is trying these right now and no one new can get gigs...

Hey man it might be a good thing you can't get any of that since gig workers pays peanuts. You don't want to get stuck doing that stuff.
