Comment on Algorithmic Wage Discrimination (2023)parent

Your perspective of dynamic pricing is true, _if_ the workers owned the platform(s). But they don’t. So your assumption that dynamic pricing allows workers more exposure to the value they generate falls flat on its face when there are uber drivers making less than they’ve ever made while uber itself is turning into a profitable company

i’m still confused what people are proposing is the solution.

Uber pays a flat hourly rate no matter when the driver works? Drivers working after a football match earned the same pay as drivers working at 4am?

I think this would mean that the drivers that work during peak hours Less than they do now and drivers working during low traffic hours would earn more?
