Right if it’s for corp always 5/5 but if it’s on like bookworm or my blog, I feel like I can be honest, because no one is getting dinged based on my stars.
This is the issue. I am more concerned about the real impact a rating has on a real person’s life than whether some future rider will be slightly bothered by a dirty floor mat.
I don’t think this is actually having the effect you think it does. The people running these things still need the same number of workers in total, so all you’re really doing is contributing to the effect that OP is describing, where the gig workers getting marked down becomes arbitrary and random rather than related to whether they do their job.
The way to protest gig work is not to do business with companies that use it.
Every single person that I get requested to rate gets five stars plus a positive comment because fuck you gig economy.

I’ve worked at two call centers, both anything below a 5/4 as a 0
