Anti-discrimination remedies that deepen market integration worsen exploitation

Evidence

It is easy to assume that “influencers” are a general mass, a group of people whose differences are about scale and significance rather than differences in kind. Race is one way of articulating forms of discrimination perpetuated by platforms and marketers, one way of identifying varied forms of stratification that emerge from platforms and attention that leads some to greater precarity than others. But the solution to this discrimination should not be to help capital further integrate disparate individuals and groups into economic exploitation. — Grant Bollmer, Katherine Guinness, The Influencer Factory, 43
