Who in their right mind would work this type of job? I suppose if you were going to get kicked out of your apartment, you might do this. Evicting people can be very dangerous, not to mention depressing.

people who wants to earn money and dont have capacity to compete in other job markets.

Oh geez, I can only laugh at the absurdity and audacity. The psychopaths who started this sure have a great idea on what to do in this world of cut-throat capitalism.

I wonder when someone will start a retail mercenary business...

Edit to add: To quote what someone on HN said: the whole gig economy platform is basically like having day labourers hanging out outside your local DIY store until a pick-up truck shows up and tells a few of them to hop in, but this time, it's all happening online!

And people say that startups often operate not in line with market trends. In Europe such debt collectors are notorious for very direct intimidation. But people at least still call them gangs instead of startups.

Not more intimidating than occupying someone else’s property, I guess.
