The GIG economy is growing bigger and bigger by the day. Here in Los Angeles it is thriving and companies like Fiverr are beginning centralize and localize events that support GIG workers and the economy. https://latechnews.org/los-angeles-gig-economy/

Is this the same Fiverr that supported the GIG (who's paying you to yell at me) workers by telling them to sacrifice their health to work?

It's thriving, huh? How about the workers themselves? Are they thriving, too? Or just the economy?

That ad is targeting the people who hire people on Fiverr. There are almost no Fiverr gig workers in San Francisco.

None of the "you" pronouns there seem to be aimed at Fiverr consumers.

They are. I’ve seen this bus stop ad. They are targeting SF entrepreneurs who need help with video production / logos / design / etc.

California sounds more and more like a dystopian hellhole between the rampant homelessness, absurd economic inequality and now "events for GIG "workers""
> A GIG equals a freelancing job and thanks to technology you have ways to easily convert your skill set into a highly profitable revenue generating stream of income.
just yikes
