GUEST,mmarlow	Song request: labor songs - Gig economy (4)	Song request: labor songs - Gig economy	25 Sep 23
Looking for modern labor songs about the gig economy (including e.g., but not limited to: Facebook, Google, Amazon, Uber/Lyft, Doordash, Air BnB, Mechanical Turk/remotask, AI (e.g., taking and replacing work of writers/artists/performers(deepfakes), piece work - people doing labeling)). Patterns of these companies similar to older problematic ones - expand, eliminate competition, then concentrate value in paying stockholders (remove value from customers, workers, society, etc.); what Cory Doctorow calls enshitification. Looking for songs with current examples to make message more relateable than classic labor songs, and highlight new challenges and opportunities. Thank you
