Where Uber and Amazon rule: welcome to the world of the platform | Technology | The Guardian
The last paragraph is a killer:
“Most platforms are parasitic: feeding off existing social and economic relations. They donât produce anything on their own â they only rearrange bits and pieces developed by someone else. Given the enormous â and mostly untaxed â profits made by such corporations, the world of âplatform capitalismâ, for all its heady rhetoric, is not so different from its predecessor. The only thing thatâs changed is who pockets the money.”
