Do people realize that in many areas tips are used to subsidize physical servers in restaurants? Often the minimum wage for a server is something like 3 dollars and change and then tips make it up. If the tips don't bring the hourly wage up to the normal minimum the restaurant is suppose to make up the difference but if is the case generally you are just fired or no longer on the schedule.
I am a fan of the tipping system but to go to bat for these gig workers while letting hundreds of thousands of traditional workers flap in the wind is ridiculous.
