    If you use a service from someone that depends on your tips and you don’t tip them then you have exploited their labor. Not as bad as the company or CEO is but it’s exploitation nonetheless.

      True, I probably agree. I’ve thought about it as well. I think it is just important for me to clarify that using the app isn’t bad in itself, but I agree with you - if you don’t tip someone who depends on it, you dont oppose the exploitation of the workers and actively profit from it.
