I refuse to believe that any data they harvest from gig workers will come close to covering their overhead.
I absolutely believe that the founders will make out like bandits before this is either acquired by a bigger dumber company, or shuttered.

The startup makes money by selling workers’ data to companies that offer benefits to gig workers.
I too want to get some of them benefits from MasterCard.

Yeah that phrasing was especially egregious.

If you choose to use the toilets in the base area, the first time you do it there’s a scene where you’re told the scientists will be collecting samples every time you go and encourage you to use the facilities frequently.

A bit like selling your kidney to afford your master’s!

I definitely thought they were analyzing poop based on the title

Even the size of your poop can’t be private…

Didn’t know their info was being sold. Lol. Bless those who are so innocent as to believe they can get anything for free.

Gotta love the commodification of literally everything. Thanks, capitalism.
