The public is not keen on dynamic pricing (i.e. for concert tickets), but imagine what its like to have dynamic pricing shape your pay (Uber & Deliveroo drivers already do); its the latest worker-exploiting aspect of the gig economy.

The advantages of expanding the uncertainty of wages for gig economy workers accrue to the 'employer', effectively reducing wages.

The gig economy is a mechanism for impoverishing workers & needs better regulation.
