And some people seem to have been trained to reserve their rage for those who opt out of the scam! For the love of baby Jesus, leave some leather on those corporate boots!

Because you're not "opting out."

"Opting out" would be not using the service at all. Punishing the company inflicting it.

Using the service and not tipping isnt opting out, its opting in and saying "fuck you, got mine." It doesn't hurt the company or the system itself, it just hurts the poor schlub who has to now do the job for nothing, or even at a loss. And no, punishing the likely-already-poor gig worker is not going to encourage them to do something else, seeing as they're likely already desperate. Evidence: they saw your $2 for 6 miles tipless delivery and took it anyway.

No, it's not your problem. But there's the ethical way to protest, and the asshole way to protest, and using a tipped service and not tipping is squarely the latter.
