And they created legitimate value via the user-friendliness of their apps.

Idk, an autist who hangs out on lemmy who understands basic economics?

You say you understand basic economics, but you don't understand why "every job in the economy must provide the job-holder with full and unequivocal economic security"? Lol, sure you do friend.

I might recommend you do some reading and maybe you'll realize that these gig jobs are just a new way to do wealth extraction from the poor. Between giving no economic security, low wages and no benefits, this is just yet another way to implement a form of neofudalism.
