I don’t know about you, but I depend on services every day in order to live.

I think they're more referring to the scalable service economy. Haircuts, which are a service, don't scale (unless we're talking about robotics or something).

So things like fintech, telemedicine, Bolt/Uber?

When I refer to services, I refer to paying people and not receiving material benefits. Accountants, microsoft word, google search, chatgpt, doordash
