> benefit of the gig economy is the average person has more masters
how about no masters?
> (and so is beholden to any one master less)
that does not necessarily follow...
if i still need say 3 jobs to make ends-meet, then im on the street if i get fired from one of them... now i need to juggle the demands of 3 masters, all with different demands on my time, energy and concentration...
Sure, no masters is better...though I'm not aware of anyone in that position. Manufacturers have customers, billionaires the IRS. Everyone's accountable to someone on something. Hermits?
Working 3 jobs and losing one is not the same thing as working one job and losing one. Losing revenue will always hurt. The point is to prevent it from being fatal.
And still, you don't really have an argument here. All of this is in comparison to the current system which is worse on both these points than a hypothetical 100% gig economy.
Diversifying clients is good, still on practice main part of the income usually comes from the single client.
And.. Your time doesn't scale, compensation has visible upper limits.
