    I disagree. By ordering via these apps, you contribute to the people who exploit the drivers, but you don’t make the decision to exploit them. It is a very big difference, in my opinion, because by ordering you don’t decide the drivers should be exploited. It is the decision of the CEOs to do it, and while you of course have a part in it, I think it is a strong claim to say that OP is actively making it worse.

      I have a different opinion on that. It is the old question about individual vs. structural responsibility. Yes I am not deciding to package everything in plastic, but by buying apples packaged in plastic I contribute. I do not decide to keep animals under miserable conditions but I have an active part when buying and consuming meat.

      Don’t get me wrong, I am not in favor of blaming individuals rather than the industry, it is not black and white. But I think you indeed actively make it worse by ordering via these apps.
