Several things the article does not mention:

- Some workers are pressured to rent a scooter or an e-bike. Having bike carriers is cool, but they prefer faster and long ranges. They rent from companies that have a deal with the parent company. This makes it even more difficult to earn a profit.

- On some countries, you must register as self-employed or freelance. Taxes and you also pay for social security.

- This highlights something interesting. These companies have a pool of riders at zero risk

- The part about few orders really depends on the city and the part of the day you work. Busiest hours can give you a solid 7 - 10 deliveries on a 3 hour period.
