> It wasn't scalable.

I feel like that's a rather generic stand-in complaint for (what frequently ends up being) something entirely different.

If both of the actually important parties - tasker & purchaser - were happy beforehand, the problem is TaskRabbit, not them.

Maybe the lesson here is "don't accept $37 million in funding for an odd-jobs coordinator"?

It's not a tasker's fault that some website needs to squeeze an unreasonable amount of profit out of running groceries & fixing desks.
