The hot new vibe rizz capitalism (which isn’t really new, but feels new) is to outsource your overhead costs to your workers. Instead of spending money training them or buying equipment and tools, get them to pay for them. Don’t even buy or rent property. They can use their own money and their own homes and their own equipment. You get a cut, they do all the work, and you don’t even have to invest in the real estate or build a factory or have safety reviews or health insurance plans, just a website and some IT folks to handle the transactions and ad platforms.
This, btw, is Etsy’s business model. You work for them, but get no employee benefits and you front all the costs. The modern Avon or Tupperware scenario.
