I apologize for not being more clear about my point, I stated it implicitly for brevity. The job satisfaction quote was a rebuttal of what the parent said, which was

> Many gig workers explicitly do not want to become employees

I’ll be more clear, I have two points, point 1 is that “workers do not choose gig economy jobs because they offer flexibility, they choose them because they have low barriers to entry”. This means that employee classification is irrelevant to workers, they do not explicitly want to be contractors. The 20% job dissatisfaction statistic is sufficient to prove my point because if there were alternatives, those 1/5 of workers would not be working for Uber.

Point 2 is “the gig economy benefits employers more than traditional employment and disadvantages workers more than traditional employment” I support this claim with the statement that Uber drivers have been paid less than minimum wage.

When Uber gives drivers the ability to set their prices, I'll believe they're independent contractors. As it stands, Uber doesn't even let their drivers know what the value of a given ride is going to be until they've already started it.
