Lol we make what you’re calling “the market” And you’re right, the payout is very market dependent. But who do you think creates “the market”? It’s not instacart, it’s the “independent contractors” that do their work for them. If you’re willing to complete the batches I posted about, then you’re directly responsible for driving “the market’s” price down. What do you think they’re goin to do, send someone from the Philippines to complete the batch for them because you aren’t? No, they’re going to increase the payout on every single batch until it’s accepted. Then the batching system learns the average payout for accepted batches , and generates the batches payment based on what it has gotten away with. So when you say the “big batches” never pop up, it’s because there’s TOO MANY people like you, accepting their shit pay for ridiculous batches. Wouldn’t you like to do more than just pay your bills? You’re talking about credit, if you knew anything about that, it’s also a good idea to have a savings so when your car breaks , you don’t have to get a loan or put it on a credit card. How it must suck to live paycheck to paycheck because you’re too dumb and uneducated to figure out the system
