That was an insightful link. But is it really the gig economy ? This seems more like the crowdfunding model, which is more applicable to arts and crafts. I remember first reading about radiohead or someone else using pre-order sales to get money and then release the album.

There really needs to be an open data for business otherwise GDPR is pointless. Code is somehow not where the money is.

What is peculiar about software is maintenance cost which puts it somewhere between crowdfunding and subscriptions.

The gig economy makes sense if the person doing the gig is able to set the price otherwise it's not really fair.
