The on-demand apocalypse?

Well, knowing Techcrunch they're probably overreacting, but this is a prediction I can get behind.

Maybe now VCs can invest in companies that don't rely on questionable labor tactics in order to deceive themselves and others into thinking that they're unicorns.

As a middle class person I signed up to two subscription services the other day. This is on top of my netflix, A-Prime and other common subscriptions. I realize they might not qualify to "on-demand services" 1:1 but seeing as the customer demographic is pretty much the same I believe on-demand services will always be viable as long as people demand things. And my god do some people demand things.

One start-up is an insignificant sample size.
