But when COVID started, the situation worsened, majority of the restaurants including big national chains stopped delivery people from using the washrooms (at least in Toronto, Ontario). I happened to deliver around that time and I delivered for about a week and then I realized I couldn't hold my pee for longer times, and didn't want to use bottles to pee. This was a real problem and I can't believe it took Ontario more than a full year to pass the legislation in that regard [1].
What's even more sadder is this happened on upscale so-called Vegan restaurants, owners advertising fair food policies and organic products and customers ordering as per their convenience thinking they are doing great good by ordering from these places. None of the parties customer, owner or the platform knew that the food was being delivered at the price of human dignity under a very simple matter of common decency. A basic need to have access to a washroom was being denied. It is certainly the most ironical experience of my life.
TL;DR : There are actual problems that needs to be discovered and solved because each party thriving in the gig economy thinks 'its not our problem'. This can happen a lot faster if some of the staff of these companies actually goes through the experience end to end.

What?
I just came here to say why on earth YouTube keep showing me the same Casey Neistat video 1000 times even though in the past I have never chosen to click on it. Doesn't it make sense to just stop showing it then like after may be 10 times?
Also, what's up with showing the video that I have watched already over and over again?
I have just realized the Algorithm weighs quantity a lot over the quality, I have about 200 subscriptions containing multiple small time creators with niche content, but it is the same content creators again and again in my recommendations. I don't even see if any of my subscription posted a new video immediately.
NRI here, I watch a lot of programming content on youtube, but I have never watched a single programming video in hindi, but my entire recommendation is fill up with programming in hindi, can we just ask the algorithm to stop boxing user profiles into racialized tendencies.
Well, you missed very important piece of context from my argument, 'at the peak of farmer's protest' . You already know the sentiments are running high, there is lot of misinformation, wide disconnect between ground reality and digital narrative. A little act of nudge or sign can trigger violence and get people killed on the street. Well, then I am looking at the CEO of the company that is carrying all of this information wether it is true or false, and how he behaves and if chooses sides wether correct or wrong.
> Who is allowed to be a flag bearer for free speech?
In my opinion, anyone who understand that free speech has its limitations, I am allowed to say whatever I want in certain context and situation but staying within reason.
Anyone who understands, the difference between shouting 'Hey, I got little firecracker on me' on an Airplane vs someone at a child's birthday party. Some things under different context trigger different reactions. It's not very hard to understand. Now imagine Jack Dorsey liking tweets of a person supporting the group that supports the ideology of those who attacked Capital Hill. Not sure about how other Indian Citizens feel about it, being an NRI of 15+ years I took hoisting of religious flag on Red Fort as an attack on democracy and also akin to attack on Capitol Hill as well.
Coming back to my argument, Twitter should follow land of the law and if not should cease Indian operations. I'd love to hear your counter argument to this.
Jack Dorsey should stop acting like he is the sole flag bearer of the free speech in the entire world. Blocking Trump because he made calls for violence makes total sense, but passively liking and expressing your political likings and stance as CEO of twitter is is not cool & ethical. If you are publicly expressing your ideologies, god knows what goes behind the scenes at Twitter. I am just wondering what I will do as an employee of Twitter, if I doesn't agree with with the ideologies of my CEO and expressing otherwise. I am not sure ideologies is the right word, but I hope I get my point across.
I always give benefit of doubt where it's due, but Twitter has definitely something sinister going with their Indian Operations. If Indian companies goes abroad they are expected to follow local laws, and if Twitter wants to operate in India it must give way to the law of the land.
