- Psycological harm results from trying to recruit strikers when you are a secret scab. Unless you're a psycopath
- You could organize a protest on the day you are striking to confirm each others loyalty
- You might already know other people who work for the app even if you don't work with them (e.g. if you learned of the gig work through word-of-month). Those people you already have social connections with.
Saying it's hard is valid. Saying it's impossible without real evidence reeks of the stereotype of the freshman straight out of econ 101 who thinks they now understand all human behavior.
