Platform Cooperatives Like Stocksy Have A Purpose Uber And Airbnb Never Will

Summary

On platform cooperatives, The New School associate professor, Trebor Scholz writes:

“[Platform Cooperatives] can be a reminder that work can be dignified rather than diminishing for the human experience. Cooperatives are not a panacea for all the wrongs of platform capitalism but they could help to weave some ethical threads into the fabric of 21st century work.”

I could not agree more. Stocksy sheds a shining Victoria Inner Harbour light on this wonderful, purpose-driven movement of Platform Cooperatives.

Maybe it is time for both Uber and Airbnb to contemplate becoming a Platform Cooperative, too.
