''The typical digital sharecropping website is a capitalist's fantasy. The workers receive no pay and no benefits, have no rights and their only option to address a grievance is to quit. Yet given the very low profit margins, it's a difficult business. It can become a real-life version of the old joke about losing a little money on each product you sell, but trying to make it up on volume. Yet for all the talk of internet technologies making connections between people and fostering community, for a corporation, commercial imperatives must always have the final word.''
