Christmas has a funny way of reminding us that life doesn’t always run according to schedule. For me, that reminder came in the form of a failed alternator on Christmas Eve. One minute I’m planning on working, and the next I’m arranging a tow home. Fortunately, I had access to roadside assistance through the app,…

The eleventh video focused on a topic that I still feel strongly about today: content creation while actively driving. At the time, I was watching a growing number of rideshare and delivery creators producing content from behind the wheel. Some were livestreaming, some were recording commentary, and others were interacting with their audiences while operating…

The tenth video was not originally part of the plan. Like many content creators discover, sometimes an idea refuses to stay in your head. I had already put together a video, gone through the process, and called it a night. Then I woke up, watched what I had produced, and realized that there were still…

The ninth video focused on something that would become increasingly important to Massachusetts rideshare drivers: the newly established rideshare driver law and the changes it introduced for people working on the platforms. In the video, I walked through the information that was available at the time and discussed what the changes could mean for drivers.…

The eighth video was built around reviewing comments and responding to people who had taken the time to engage with the channel. At the time, the audience was still small, and I was not receiving a large volume of comments. Even so, I felt it was important to acknowledge the people who were participating in…

The seventh video expanded on a point that had been building throughout several of the earlier discussions: individual actions can have consequences that extend far beyond the individual involved. Using several highly publicized incidents involving delivery and rideshare drivers, I discussed how poor decisions made by a small number of people can affect public perception…

The sixth video returned to a topic that had already become a recurring theme on the channel: personal responsibility, workplace conduct, and the reality that modern technology records far more than many people seem to realize. In this video, I discussed a widely circulated incident involving a delivery worker known online as “Extra Spice,” who…

The fifth video continued the technology discussion and further explored some of the topics that had begun appearing in earlier videos. By this point, I was becoming more comfortable speaking on subjects beyond gig work and discussing technology from the perspective of an everyday user rather than simply as a technical exercise. One of the…

The fourth video posted to YouTube was something of a departure from the topics that had come before it. Up to that point, much of the discussion had focused on gig work, platform policies, training, and the day-to-day realities of working as an independent contractor. Then I shifted gears and started talking about something completely…

This was the third video that I produced, long before there was a website to go along with the channel. At the time, it was simply a video posted to share an idea that I felt was not getting enough attention. A lot of the discussion surrounding gig work tends to focus on earnings, bonuses,…
