The extension of Uber’s business model—algorithmic management, independent contractor classification, surge pricing, and user rating systems—to virtually every sector of the economy, from healthcare to education to professional services. In late‑stage Uberization, even skilled labor is disaggregated into discrete tasks, priced dynamically, and controlled by opaque algorithms. Workers lose benefits, stability, and collective bargaining; customers enjoy convenience while being surveilled and rated. Late‑stage Uberization represents the triumph of platform capitalism: work becomes a series of precarious, quantified tasks with no loyalty, no security, and no end.
