@Fenng: Those who shout about a surplus of delivery drivers turn around and accuse platforms of using algorithms to squeeze ride-hailing drivers, saying they won't let drivers earn too much and use algorithms to distribute orders to other drivers. If there is a surplus of delivery drivers, isn't there also a surplus of ride-hailing drivers? If orders are all given to a few drivers, are the rest supposed to live on air? Why at this point don't they say that there are too many ride-hailing drivers so everyone can't make money?

Those who shout about a surplus of delivery riders turn around and accuse the platforms of using algorithms to squeeze ride-hailing drivers, saying they don’t let drivers earn too much and use algorithms to distribute orders to other drivers. If delivery riders are in surplus, how could ride-hailing drivers not be? Should orders be given only to a few drivers while the rest get nothing? At times like this, why don’t they say there are too many ride-hailing drivers and nobody can make money?

Fenng (@Fenng): What the white-collar workers crunching numbers for delivery riders fail to understand is that being a rider is much easier and more comfortable than working in a factory. They only run orders for three or four hours a day, and the rest of the time they can scroll through short videos or read web novels. In other words, riders have a more flexible and more rational career choice than most office workers. You are not a rider, so how could you know a rider’s joy? Don’t feel sorry for them—feel sorry for yourselves.
