Now, the company says it imagines an "Uber-type of setup" to fill their ranks, with gig workers logging in remotely to argue with customers from the comfort of their own homes.

So they're using their spectacular failure as a chance to exploit their new 'employees' via the gig economy.

Fuck them. They have learned nothing about respect or decency, and I hope they continue to crash and burn.

And how many of these Uberserfs will be located in developed countries making good salaries? None, you say?

Probably depends on the language in the target market, a lot of European languages are not that common in countries with cheap labor.
