My hunch is that for the "gig economy" to become anything more than worker exploitation, they will need to be restructured as commons-owned P2P networks where earnings and value are ~equally distributed.

It's absurd for 0.01% of popular, early-adopter creators to be making $millions on these platforms while 99.99% with the same output quality and skills struggle to earn enough to cover a fraction of their living costs.

But of course equal wealth distribution and commons ownership is a blindspot that the Silicon Valley sociopaths will never pursue.

Exactly, and if you dare to suggest that model they will label you communist.
