Is anyone old enough to remember the original "Sharing Economy" -- ZipCar and FlexCar and the newish bike shares. When did the term get misapplied to "contractor economy"?

There's an incomplete history at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharing_economy but I'd like to see a histogram of uses... might be heard to filter for current usage/valance however.

Needless to say, adopted and popularized because branding.
